TARO AS COLOUR

by Colquhoun, Ithell

  • Used
  • Hardcover
London: Fulgur Esoterica, 2018. Limited Edition. A FINE HARDCOVER COPY, uncirculated, with illustrated colored panels. Contents include: a scholarly introduction by Dr. Amy Hale; a contextual essay by Ithell Colquhoun; seventy-eight enamel taro card designs, reproduced in six colors; and an index of correspondences, citing esoteric names, traditional tarot names, King scale colors and Cabalistic letters. In 1977, a series of 78 strange enamel works were exhibited in a small gallery in Cornwall. The vibrant images were modestly grouped together in five large frames. For the curious viewer, the artist provided a page of explanation, affirming that these 'psycho-morphological' studies were, in fact, designs for a Taro. Within a few weeks, the exhibition was gone, vanishing into obscurity. Such was the first and last appearance of Ithell Colquhoun's revolutionary explorations of the Tarot. Printed using the latest techniques of six-color offset lithography, the original cards are augmented with gold and silver inks and gloss coated to better emulate the original enamels. Edited by Amy Hale and Robert Ansell. 208 pages. 4to.

This is the first published appearance of Colquhoun's reimagining of the tarot, originally exhibited in a small gallery in Cornwall in 1977. Colquhoun's "psycho-morphological" enamel studies of the tarot strip down the symbolism of the cards into pure colour, each with titles drawn from "Book T" of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. "The Lord of Wealth" is the name given by the Golden Dawn to the card also known as the "10 of Pentacles". While interpretations of the tarot are multitudinous, in the tradition of the Golden Dawn the card primarily denotes material riches and security. Colquhoun was a celebrated artist and occultist who who was expelled from the English Surrealist Group for refusing to abandon her occult research. She "is… Read More
