Abstract

Tarot karte te njihovo čitanje i proricanje budućnosti pripadaju dugoj ezoterijskoj tradiciji nastaloj prijelazom iz srednjeg vijeka u razdoblje renesanse. Osim za svrhu predviđanja, karte su također bile korištene u tzv. ceremonijalnoj magiji, a u današnje vrijeme se često upotrebljavaju radi zabave. Iako su kontroverzne u nekim aspektima te se razlikuju mišljenja o njima, njihova mistika, simboličnost s jedne strane te estetika i raznovrsnost ilustracija (koja je danas mnogo veća nego u srednjem vijeku) privlače mnoge. Rad dokumentira izradu deset tarot karata korištenjem tehnike linoreza po uzoru na japansku umjetnost i japanski drvorez. Radnja prikazuje nastale otiske u praktičnom dijelu rada te ukratko se predočava povijest tarota, njegovu svrhu, daje kratki prikaz najvažnijih špilova, njihov dizajn i pregled najznačajnijih radova tradicionalnih japanskih umjetnika kao i onih koji su inspirirali motive i ilustracije izrađenih karata. Za završni rad je odabran stil japanskog drvoreza jer se rijetko pojavljuje u dizajnu tarot karata. Također, tehnika linoreza je pristupačnija i najsličnija tehnici drvoreza koju se pokušava imitirati, a motivi i estetika tradicionalne japanske umjetnosti komplimentirati će motivima i mističnosti tarot karata. Radom se željelo prikazati inovativniji način dizajniranja tarot karata kroz stil umjetnosti koji je općenito slabo prisutan u tarotu i likovnom oblikovanju karata.

Abstract (english)

Tarot cards, their reading and fortune telling belong to a long esoteric tradition created during transition period between the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Apart from being used in fortune telling, they were used in so-called ceremonial magic and for purely entertainment purposes. Although controversial in some aspects and by some opinions, their mystique, symbolism on one hand, aesthetics and diversity of illustrations on the other hand (which is much greater today than in the Middle Ages) attract many. This essay documents production of ten tarot cards made in linocut based on Japanese art and woodcut. The essay presents prints in its’ practical section and shortly portrays history of tarot and its’ purpose, shows some of the most important decks, their design and overview of the most significant traditional Japanese artists and those who inspired the motifs and illustrations of made prints. For this paper, Japanese woodcut has been chosen because it rarely appears in tarot card design. In addition, linocut is more accessible and similar to woodcut that is being imitated, also, motifs and aesthetics of traditional Japanese art are going to compliment the motifs and mystique of tarot cards. The aim of this work is to show more innovative way of designing tarot cards through art style that is rarely present in tarot and designing of cards.
