{"product_id":"the-tarot-of-leonora-carrington","title":"The Tarot of Leonora Carrington","description":"\u003cp\u003eA significantly expanded edition of Carringtons acclaimed Tarot series  featuring new archival images and research The British-born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington (19172011) 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. Carrington 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 Leonora Carrington: Magical Tales in 2018  this extraordinary work was a revelation for the public and inspired the publication of The Tarot of Leonora Carrington. This second  considerably expanded editionencouraged by the overwhelmingly positive reception of Fulgurs publication in 2020explores further the central position that the Tarot held in Carringtons work. The volume includes an introductory text by her son Gabriel Weisz Carrington  who recalls his mothers 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. This new edition also reproduces previously unpublished photographs and images  as well as exciting new research into Carringtons influences  emphasizing the authors claim that her work on the Major Arcana represents an esoteric roadmap to Carringtons feminist vision and wish for a new global gender equality toward a better ecological future for our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949433221173,"sku":"ByrdShop_8417975993","price":451.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788417975999.jpg?v=1770076173","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-tarot-of-leonora-carrington","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
