In your snack-size serving of Art History this week, Stephanie Dueñas and Russell Shoemaker briefly discuss the influence of Tarot Cards on artists from the 20th century with a couple contemporary examples sprinkled in including Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Andre Breton and (some of) the Surrealists, Remedios Varo, Yoshitaka Amano and Suzanne Treister. Topics include: the history of Tarot, taro (root), card spread on baguettes, Speed Racer, and Madonna’s image thievery. The Art Assignment this week is: Design or create your own tarot card! Redesign an existing tarot card OR if one doesn’t speak to you, create your own a la Breton.
