Arthur E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith's Rider-Waite Tarot
(1909) is the most popular Tarot in the world. Today, it is
affectionately referred to as the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot in
recognition of the high quality of Smith's contributions. Waite and
Smith's deck has become the gold standard for identifying,
categorizing, and analyzing contemporary Tarot and other meditation
decks based on archetypes. Developments in both visual and literary
history and theory have influenced Tarot since its
fifteenth-century invention as a game and subsequent adaptations
for esotericism, cartomancy, and meditation. Updated for an
evolving cultural context, this analysis considers Tarot in
relation to conventional art movements, including Symbolism,
Surrealism, and the modernist "grid." Tarot has a strong
relationship with post-modern art concepts such as the dissolution
of the modernist hierarchy, Pattern and Decoration art, and
collage. This work also explores the close connection between Tarot
and the invention of the literary novel and includes new material
on the representation of Tarot in film and fiction and a new
chapter on the growing interest in the archetypal "shadow" and
"shadow work," particularly in deck design and its applications in
the new millennium.
