The anonymous illuminator of the 12th century BNF Latin 1654 and Paul Klee were equally fascinated by how colors play together. Eight hundred years might divide them but they were both just as creative and playful with their art.

Bit late to this but here’s a fun project I worked on lately with BNF Bank. These illustrations were made for International Women’s Day, printed on cards and distributed to BNF Bank employees. Each card can be personalised and given to the women in the sender's life.

BnFで資料を探していて偶然見つけた19世紀の遊戯札。
40枚構成で、どのように使ったかは未調査。
ウェイト版を連想させなくもない絵も混じってはいるけれど更に世俗に塗れた感もあり。
これがウェイト版タロットの元ネタにならなくてよかったですねｗ
