4.0 out of 5 stars Good art, useful deck, 19 Mar 2007

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   



I love Klimt's work, and I have quite a few Tarot packs, so when I heard that Lo Scarabeo were bringing out a Golden Tarot of Klimt, I was delighted. And also, I must admit, a bit anxious too-what if the deck didn't do justice to Klimt's work ?

I need not have worried. This is a lovely deck. Of course, Gustav Klimt never designed a Tarot pack himself, but some of his great works are here : "The Kiss" is The Lovers card, unsurprsingly. The Hierophant card is an adaptation of a photograph of Klimt himself, a big benevolent-looking man. The majority of the cards are not adaptations of Klimt paintings but rather designs done in the Klimt style. Very well done, in my opinion. The characteristic swirls and flowers are here, the golden triangles and, of course, the goldwork, the OPULENCE. All of which goes to make this a very aesthetically-pleasing deck to work with.

Does it work as Tarot ? Yes, definitely yes. The deck has been modelled more or less on the Rider-Waite tradition, and each card marries well with those interpretations. I think a beginner at tarot could use these cards with great benefit and enjoyment.

The (only) drawback, as with most Lo Scarabeo decks, is the Little White Book which purports to provide interpretations but which often provides ones at odds with the cards themselves. I just discarded it.

If you are into Tarot and looking for something very arty, look no further. If you love Art Nouveau, this is a much better deck than the two tarot decks actually named Art Nouveau. And you may just want these cards if you are a Klimt fan, regardless of their possible use as a Tarot pack.
