Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
Tarot is a remarkably enduring language of pictures. In this pocket edition from TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica, Jessica Hundley traces its visual history and explores the changing meanings artists and readers have found in its cards.
The book considers the symbolism of the Major and Minor Arcana, moving from historical imagery to modern and contemporary interpretations. Artists including Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle feature within its account of tarot as a source of visual invention. The sequence of the cards provides a way to think about recurring figures and ideas, and how a familiar structure can be reimagined by different creative hands.
The 192-page hardback offers a compact introduction for readers interested in symbolic art, esoteric traditions and the relationship between images and storytelling. It is a book about tarot’s art and history, not a tarot card deck. The pocket format makes it a convenient starting point for exploring a visual tradition with many different expressions.
