Publisher's Synopsis
The work was published in a limited art edition in 1984, the first-known Tarot deck completed by a well-known painter. Dating back to the Renaissance era, Tarot-thought by some to be an interpretation of dreams or a foretelling of the future-had seen a new surge of popularity during the 1970s hippie movement. Here, TASCHEN resurrects Dalì's fascinating deck of 78 cards, featuring compelling renditions of such characters and symbols as the Magician, the Lovers, the Moon, Death, the High Priest, and the Empress, in collage designs of drawings, icons, and color splashes. The deck is accompanied by a booklet by renowned German Tarot author Johannes Fiebig.
