The ART NOUVEAU ORACLE was influenced and inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, and its coloured ink drawings on the cards are elegant, flowery and ornate. Every scene is adorned and decorated with floral wreathes and symmetrical, natural arrangements. People are the focus of the deck and are shown in close-up on almost every card. The colours are soft and spring-like: greens, blues, pale pinks, and yellows, inset into a white border. The main title, in Italian, is purple; other language titles are pink. The art relies on nuance for understanding and conveys meaning with the expression and position of the human figure and face, rather than with the traditional set of tarot symbols.This is not the same deck as the ART NOUVEAU TAROT by Matt Myers. While drawing on the same artistic period for inspiration, the ART NOUVEAU ORACLE by Antonella Castelli has an Italian influence, where the style was known as Liberty, and is less representative of stained glass design. While not a deep or philosophical tarot deck, the ART NOUVEAU ORACLE is a tarot deck that works well for straightforward fortune-telling and is a work of art worthy of addition to any tarot collection.
