Art Nouveau Tarot Card Deck
Book by Lo Scarabeo. Llewellyn Publications Cards Published 2000-09-01.- Review:: 'A Rather Pretty Deck. The Trumps of this deck are superb, they are well drawn, thoughtfully executed and to subtly challenge our assumptions about the Tarot. I particularly like the idea of replacing the Christian Bishop with a Rabbi as the 5th Trump Hierophant. If one thinks about it a Rabbi's role as teacher, counselor, and guardian of tradition is much more in-line with the Archetype of this card than the more impersonal/authoritarian bishop. The minors are an interesting, and challenging exercise in draughtsmanship, and any young draughtsman looking for study subjects could hardly do better, as the female form is lovingly displayed in a great variety of poses and with great skill. From the point of view of reading the Tarot however they are next to useless. I know of one reader who does like this deck, telling me he reads from the facial expressions of the minors. Personally I find the cards overwhelmingly have the same vapid, languid, expression and I simply cannot agree. IMHO this is basically a pips deck decorated with pictures of lovely young women. As a noted above the Trumps are excellent, as an exercise in comparative Tarot. I highly recommend this deck, as a readers deck I cannot recommend it myself. 3-1/2 Stars really.
- Review:: 'Bit overated The art work is great! But it's use is limited. All women in the minors that aren't really doing much of anything but sitting there and looking pretty with maybe a slight frown or smile. It is a bit of a far stretch but this isn't a typical traditional deck and probably should be avoided by beginner's and those wanting decks that are more plain in their presentation of meaning and symbolisim. The majors are okay but again they don't really fit tradtional meanings. If one likes pretty but not informative and unorthadox, this is the deck for you.
- Review:: 'Gorgeous but disappointing I was given this deck for Christmas this year. At first I was enchanted by the artwork. It is truly beautiful, filled with images of beautiful women in flowing gowns, gorgeous longhaired men, and lovey floral accents. But as I began working with them I became disappointed. For those of us who read the tarot by the symbolism of the art more than the traditional meanings of the cards, this deck is almost useless. In the best decks, the meaning of the card is told as a story through the picture on the card. With this deck, except for a few exceptions, the pictures on minor arcana cards are almost entirely devoid of symbolism and meaning. The court cards,in my opinion, are the most frustrating. Pages, which are intended to represent a male or female youth, and usually pictured as an androgynous youth, have been changed to Knaves and the drawings are of very muscular adult men. All of the Kings are pictured with submissive-looking young women kneeling at their feet. What is that meant to symbolize? The Queens and Knights are, of course, beautiful, but light on symbolic meaning. The Major Arcana are the deck's strongest point. Although they aren't the best I've come across, they are fine for Major Arcana only readings. That's about all I'll be using them for. I would be happy to put most of this artwork on my walls, but beauty alone is not enough for a good set of working tarot cards. These might work for those who read according to the traditional meanings and don't use the pictures, but for intuitive readers they're little more than eye candy. It's only because of the beautiful art that they get 3 stars, otherwise they'd be lucky to earn 1 star from me.
- Review:: 'Beautiful, yet hopelessly inacurate. Upon first glance, this deck looks like one of the most beautiful ever published. The major trumps all are faithful to traditional design. The colors are pastel and very sping time like. Hence the name "printemps". This was my choice for romantic oriented readings. It is when we pass into the minors that things fall apart rather fast. I do not know if it was deliberate or lost in translation but the meaning of most cards are switched beyond recognition. A big NO NO in my book! I could see if there was a deliberate reason for this. The accompaning booklet lacks little explaination for these changes. There was no book to accompany deck. Until one is produced, the deck sits in my Tarot cabinet,gathering dust. Only getting it out to show others the beautiful art work. I would not recommend this to beginners. Even advanced readers may have some trouble explaining the blatant changes to most of the minors. Believe me, this happened to me. A major trump only reading would be very good for affairs of the heart.
- Review:: 'Beautiful images with excellent meanings This deck drew me in by its stunning art. Now I own five beautiful tarot decks but this one just completely took me in. Now most decks to me either have beautiful eye candy art or great spiritual meanings. This one to me has both. I did readings for three of my friends and all of them said it was so very accurate. My only concern is that they don't give too many layouts for readings. A perfect deck for expirenced readers.
Art Nouveau, 1890-1914
Book by Paul Greenhalgh. Harry N Abrams 496 pages Hardcover Published 2000-10-01. Description: Art nouveau embraced massive works of architecture and delicate pieces of jewelry, images of eerie seductresses and sinuous plant forms as well as flowing abstract shapes. The style transformed the decorative arts of many countries at a moment when Western culture believed itself to be on the brink of enormous change. Being ultramodern in the 1890s meant moving away from classical standards of beauty to create a sophisticated blend of nature and artifice. It also meant finding fresh inspiration in art history (Gothic architectural ornament, the airy curlicues of rococo art), non-European cultures (flat patterning in Japanese woodcuts, whiplash curves in Islamic art), or native folk art traditions.Authoritative and elegantly written essays by 22 specialists, illustrated with 507 sumptuous photographs, make Art Nouveau, 1890-1914 one of the finest art books in recent memory. Produced to accompany a major exhibition that opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and runs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from October 8, 2000, through January 28, 2001, this volume is the first to illuminate the full range of art nouveau media and the complex connections--scientific, literary, mystical, mythological, psychological, industrial, nationalistic--that allowed it to take root in Europe and the U.S.
The famous art nouveau figures are all represented, of course: architects and designers Charles Rennie Macintosh, Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Josef Hoffmann, Antonio Gaudí; art glass wizards Louis Comfort Tiffany and Émile Gallé; illustrators Aubrey Beardsley and Alphonse Mucha. But part of the pleasure of this book consists in discovering exquisite or bizarre pieces by lesser-known designers empowered by the dark sensuality of a style that perversely borrowed from nature to celebrate the nervous energy of urban culture. --Cathy Curtis Description: Art Nouveau exploded onto the art and design scene in the early 1890s and spread rapidly throughout the Western world. This lush volume-created to accompany a major museum exhibition that opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, before moving to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., in October 2000-is the most beautiful, complete, and wide-ranging study ever published on this enormously popular and influential style.
A wealth of illustrations and rare period photographs showcase masterpieces in all mediums-from Tiffany lampshades, Mucha posters, Klimt paintings, and Lalique jewelry to architecture by Victor Horta, Antoni Gaud, and Louis Sullivan. The text, by 20 leading scholars, is a timely reappraisal of a style that flourished at the turn of the last century, in a world grappling with new ideas and rapid social change. Decadent yet popular, both loved and hated, Art Nouveau gave rise to the concept of an all-encompassing "lifestyle environment"-a total work of art designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.
This season's most scintillating art book, Art Nouveau, 1890-1914 will be unrivaled for years to come.

- Review:: 'All the pictures are color
! This is a rare gem among art histories: A well researched book that an average person will enjoy as much as a researcher. What makes this book stand out from other books about art nouveau is how thorough it is (It is phone book thick) and the quantity and quality of the pictures. All the reproductions of art in this book are color, with the obvious exception of older photographs of artists and occasionally architecture or artifacts that no longer exist except in black and white pictures. The book takes the theory that art nouveau was part of a social response to industrialization. So the art is defined as art that used a return to nature or investigation into magic to try to make sense of the world. Art works are organized by what materials they were created from (jewelry, ceramics, textile, commercial advertising prints). Paintings and some examples of the other medias are grouped by country with a historical write on art nouveau in that geographical region. This book is great. The high quality color reproductions and so many of them are worth looking through again and again. If you are at all into art nouveau then you are likely to love this book. Libraries should make this available because of the wonderful high quality color reproductions.
- Review:: 'This is THE BOOK on Art Nouveau. This is the book to get on Art Nouveau. The authoritative essays are well annotated, and an excellent bibliography is included. The illustrations are very fine. Of course this is a nice "coffee table book," but really this is a wonderful reference book for scholars of the Fin de Siýcle-Belle ýpoque. Highly recommended!
- Review:: 'ALL ART NOUVEAU FANS MUST SEE THIS! First off, thank you Paul! I have loved Art Nouveau from childhood, before I ever knew what the style was called. It is somewhere in my blood.

Soar! - Review:: 'Incredible! A book of incredible detail and beauty. I first saw this book in my local library and decided I simply must have it. There are print art, furniture and jewellry, arcitecture examples and more. Worth the purchase price to the last penny!
- Review:: 'An encyclopedic presentation of beauty and history this book is one of the most valuable in my personal library -- not only are the pictures gorgeous, but the text provides historical context and thus enriches the entire presentation. i enthusiastically looked at every page, and was flabbergasted by some of the objets d'art. the things people can dream of! the things they can make from raw materials... it's simply amazing, especially lalique's jewelry. one of the aspects of this book that i most admire is it's equal treatment of different forms: architecture, graphic design, jewelry, furniture, visual media, sculpture, and urban planning are all addressed. i wish it had spoken more about the music, poetry, and dance of the time, but that's not a complaint. the book is huge, but well organized into regional sections (france, spain, usa, etc) and gives biographical info about the artists as well. i am going to go back to europe again when i can, specifically to see the homes photographed in this amazing anthology. given the size and the amount of info, as well as the quality of the photographs, the price for this book is unbeatable. buy this collection -- you won't regret it at all! note: this book would be particularly useful to those interested in art history, nature in art, photography, and movement in art (note that loie fuller is a heavy influence on the form in france, and thus students of choreography/dance history should be familiar with this period in art)
