Beskrivning

This beautiful book presents valuable new information and context about how tarot has developed, evolved, and been reimagined by artists, mystics, and writers over the centuries, from its origins as a fifteenth-century card game in Renaissance Italy to its profound transformations into tools for divination, artistic creation, and storytelling. This new volume fills a very real - and timely - gap in the currently available published material on the history and artistic development of tarot, its symbolism, and its source of inspiration for contemporary artists.An illustrated introduction plus six other richly illustrated essays explore the extensive history of tarot, the origins of the cards, their iconography, the idea of individual engagement in fortune and divination, as well as the highly personal aspects in much of the imagery. A main plates section features twenty-two spreads of tarot cards, comparing the same character or virtue cards across three Renaissance decks as well as the extraordinary range of imaginative tarot imagery.

"Those, like myself, who want to know more will be grateful for the catalog, which includes excellent research into the construction of cards and juxtapositions of different interpretations of individual cards across centuries. It’s an enchanting companion to a bewitching exhibition."—Brian P. Kelly, The Wall Street Journal
