This deck pays homage to the short-lived Art Nouveau movement. Post the Industrial Revolution, a group of European artists returned to nature in search of primitive exuberance, advocating that art should explore the origins of natural creations. Full of life and excitement, most of the archetypical patterns and motifs found in Art Nouveau architecture and design are abstracted from nature and enriched with symbolism.
Design
Enlightened by this thought-provoking chapter of art history, we began envisioning a tarot deck that commemorates the great art that has inspired us. Our sources of inspiration include Hector Guimard's architectural designs, Jules Chéret’s graphic designs, and Louis Majorelle’s furniture designs.
