Additional Information
Omitting the final T of Tarot to be closer to the cards’ Egyptian origins, Colquhoun created the abstract designs for her cartomancy deck using enamel inks on board. Rejecting figurative motifs, Colquhoun made her deck from ‘pure colour’ using surrealist automatic painting techniques.
The artworks contained in the postcard pack are:
18. The Daughter of the Firmament: the Dweller between the Waters from Taro: Major Arcana
13. The Spirit of the Mighty Waters from Taro: Cups
The Lord of the Winds and the Breezes. The King of the Spirits of Air from Taro: Swords
6. The Lord of Victory from Taro: Wands
The Queen of the Thrones of Earth from Taro: Disks
4. The Daughter of the Mighty Ones from Taro: Major Arcana
(Ace) The Root of the Powers of Fire from Taro: Wands
7. The Children of the Voice: the Oracle of the Mighty Gods from Taro: Major Arcana
5. Sun of the Morning, chief among the Mighty from Taro: Major Arcana
15. The Daughter of the Reconcilers, the Bringer-forth of Life from Taro: Major Arcana
10. The Lord of Ruin from Taro: Swords
Ithell Colquhoun printed the name of each card underneath its artwork image, as reproduced here in postcard size and form. The back of each postcard is white, with the artwork credit line and Tate’s dot logo printed in black.
The art postcard pack celebrates our Ithell Colquhoun: Between Worlds exhibition, opening at Tate St Ives in February 2025 before travelling to Tate Britain in June. Share the exhibition with a friend by popping one in the post, or create a display in your home – the postcards are also sized to fit our Tate perpetual postcard calendar.
