Okay.. can someone talk me out of buying Tarot of the Masters (Rickleff), please?
It is VILE ! Ugly, garish, when I set a bit for the identify game, no-one could even figure out what it WAS.
"Inspired by old masters" - this deck is not inspired; it is trite and looks like he couldn't think of a picture of his own for any of the cards so borrowed - and rehashed - REALLY badly - pix that we all used to love.
I mean - like, you did LOOK at it on line ? What happened - do you need new glasses ? Look at - for instance- the Hanged Man (on
this page along with other horrors). He's bleeding flying. How come ? How he balance like that ??
Empress - waving grapes in the air while looking - well, VACANT.
Devil - looks like Curious George walking on hot coals.
Sun - don't make me laugh. And note the dainty loincloths on everyone. Mustn't see Naughty Bits. (To be fair there is a welcome shortage of naked boobs.)
And OK - I am particularly hacked off by Temperance as I LOVE the original picture and this is such a travesty. Real artists use a dash of subtlety in colour. These are - well, eyepopping.NOT in a good way.
Honestly Nina - go buy postcards from an art gallery. MUCH prettier and I bet they even read better.
I had thought better of YOU, in terms of taste. Go have a cold shower and see if you feel better in the morning.....
