Leon Steinmetz: Tarot Major Arcana

"This deck approaches the Major Arcana as gestures rather than illustrations. Tarot treated as movement. Done in sepia with the economy and freedom of the ancient Chinese calligraphers, the images emerge in a single breath. They are figurative and slightly distorted - bending form just enough to reveal tension, humour, and vulnerability. Nothing is ornamental; each stroke carries weight. The black Roman titles and numbers are anchors, representing tradition, structure, permanence. We can listen to Tarot and see the archetypes in the moment they arise." - Leon Steinmetz. A limited edition of 10 sets of Tarot Major Arcana, illustrated by Leon Steinmetz (b. 1944 in Moscow), and published by Emanuel von Baeyer London.
