{"product_id":"the-tarot-of-leonora-carrington","title":"The Tarot of Leonora Carrington","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA significantly expanded edition of Carrington's acclaimed Tarot series, featuring new archival images and research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe British-born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) spent a lifetime exploring the esoteric traditions of diverse cultures, and incorporated their ideas and symbols into her artistic and literary oeuvre. Tibetan Buddhism, the Kabbalah, ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian magic, Celtic mythology, witchcraft, astrology and the Tarot were filtered through her feminist lens to create a visionary, woman-centered worldview.\u003cbr\u003eCarrington created a spectacular Major Arcana Tarot deck sometime during the 1950s, laying gold and silver leaf over brilliant color. Exhibited for the first time during her centennial exhibition \u003ci\u003eLeonora Carrington: Magical Tales\u003c\/i\u003e in 2018, this extraordinary work was a revelation for the public and inspired the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Tarot of Leonora Carrington\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThis second, considerably expanded edition--encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive reception of Fulgur's publication in 2020--explores further the central position that the Tarot held in Carrington's work. The volume includes an introductory text by her son Gabriel Weisz Carrington, who recalls his mother's long involvement with the Tarot, followed by a revised and more extensive essay by scholar Susan Aberth and curator Tere Arcq, including detailed analysis of each card: their color symbolism, their relationship to other works and their iconographic origins in ancient esoteric beliefs, including the Mesoamerican influences of her adopted country.\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition also reproduces previously unpublished photographs and images, as well as exciting new research into Carrington's influences, emphasizing the authors' claim that her work on the \u003ci\u003eMajor Arcana\u003c\/i\u003e represents an esoteric roadmap to Carrington's feminist vision and wish for a new global gender equality toward a better ecological future for our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Leonora Carrington, Tere Arcq, Susan Aberth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44441862045932,"sku":"9788417975999","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9788417975999.jpg?v=1708836935","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/the-tarot-of-leonora-carrington","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
