Przez stulecia ludzie ze wszystkich środowisk zwracali się do tarota, aby odgadnąć, co może ich czekać i osiągnąć wyższy poziom zrozumienia samego siebie. Zagadkowe symbole kart stały się kulturowo zakorzenione w muzyce, sztuce i filmie, ale kobieta, która tuszowała i malowała ilustracje do najszerzej używanego zestawu kart dzisiaj – talii Rider-Waite z 1909 roku, pierwotnie opublikowanej przez Rider & Co. – popadła w zapomnienie, przyćmiona przez mężczyznę, który ją zlecił, Arthura Edwarda Waite'a. Teraz, ponad 70 lat po jej śmierci, twórczyni Pamela Colman Smith została uwzględniona w nowej wystawie w Whitney Museum of American Art w Nowym Jorku, która przedstawia wielu niedocenianych artystów amerykańskiego modernizmu z początku XX wieku, oprócz znanych nazwisk, takich jak Georgia O'Keeffe i Louise Nevelson.

The Woman Behind The World’s Most Famous Tarot Deck Was Nearly Lost In History

For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.

Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.
