1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

"Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story brings together the work of four distinguished scholars who have devoted years of research to uncover the life and artistic accomplishments of Pamela Colman Smith. Known to millions as the creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, Pamela Colman Smith (1878-1951) was also a stage and costume designer, folklorist, poet, author, illustrator of ballads and folktales, suffragette, and publisher of books and broadsheets. This collaborative work presents: a richly illustrated biography of Pamela's life with essays on the events and people that influenced her including Jack Yeats, Ellen Terry, Alfred Stieglitz, Bram Stoker and William Gillette. There is also a chronological survey of her folktales, art and poetry and an exploration of her lasting legacy. Over 400 color images of Pamela's non-tarot art have been curated from her publications including A Broad Sheet, The Green Sheaf, Blue Beard, Annancy stories, Russian ballet, costumes, and stage designs."--Provided by publisher.

Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story | Stuart R. Kaplan, Mary Katherine Greer

My very first check out at the library system here.

But I have quickly realized that I need to own this book. It‘s a gorgeously illustrated biography about the artist who basically repopularize the tarot. ALL HAIL PAMELA COLMAN SMITH.

Crazeedi @SkeletonKey I thought it re emerged in France in the 1800's? Am I wrong? 5y

SkeletonKey @Crazeedi - It‘s been around, but the “Rider-Waite” deck that she illustrated is the one most modern decks are based on now! 5y
