Tarot de Marrakech      2007 Jean-Baptiste Valadie      France                                                   Art Medium: Pen drawings with some pencil underdrawing. Some colouring with watercolour and other probably added digitally. Description: These designs locate the tarot imagery in North African culture. The cards are for the most part renamed, thus The Magician is Le saltimbanque (acrobat), High Priestess is Le voile de l'aube (veil of the dawn), the Wheel is Mektoub (fate) and so on. The imagery entirely reflects the tarot archetypes but filtered through North African imagery. Supplied with a substantial book in a stout box.
