Tarot des Lois Contemplatives      1966 Joel and Danika Boyer      France                                                   Art Medium: Watercolour or gouache. Description: The artwork was created in 1959 but the tarot was not published till 1966. It must be one of the earliest attempt to create a tarot using an expressionistic style. It is somewhat reminiscent of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the German expressionist painter, as it shares the bold outlines set against an abstract background. Here Joel and Danika Boyer have first created washes of watercolour or more likely gouache on a squared paper and on top of this they have drawn a figure using black paint and a large brush.
