Those with more recent interest might have also encountered the wonderful deck designed by Leonora Carrington, discovered in Mexico in 2018. But was there really a place for tarot in Surrealism? Did the Surrealists prophesize with tarot cards, or just play with them? Did they use existing cards, and if so, which ones? Did they make their own?\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking publication from Fulgur Press, a leading voice on esotericism and magic in visual culture, answers these questions and many more. Through a series of essays from renowned experts in the field, including Susan Aberth and Tere Arcq, the book addresses a topic that has received very little in-depth scholarly study so far. Extensively illustrated, \u003ci\u003eSurrealism and the Tarot: A Love Story\u003c\/i\u003e highlights surrealist tarot designs, examines the incorporation of tarot cards and designs in surrealist film, art, literature and polemics, and explores the influence of surrealist visual tropes on contemporary tarot design. Spanning the 1920s to the present day, the book explores the full breadth of international surrealist interest in cartomancy. \u003ci\u003eSurrealism and the Tarot: A Love Story\u003c\/i\u003e highlights work from a wide-ranging slew of Surrealists, from Penny Slinger to Ithell Colquhoun, from Victor Brauner to Jorge Camacho, and from Kay Sage to Alejandro Jodorowsky, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessel M.
