From the Back Cover
Reshuffle art history with Queen of Arts, a beautifully illustrated deck of playing cards and book spotlighting the lives, work, and legacies of fifty-four remarkable women.
Did you know that the four suits of a modern-day deck of playing cards once represented the four classes of society in medieval France? Hearts represented the clergy, Spades the nobility, Diamonds the merchants, and Clubs the peasants. Author Lydia Miller has reimagined these suits as Seers, Warriors, Influencers, and Dissenters, curating the fifty-four women artists featured based on these categories. Laura Callaghan's stunning, detail-packed illustrations will make you want to flip open the accompanying guide to learn about each artist.
A unique take on the classic deck of playing cards that challenges the traditional art canon. Queen of Arts showcases fifty-four remarkable women artists from the 1500s to today.
Comes complete with a 116-page book featuring text by specialist Lydia Miller, explaining the thoughtful curation of the suits and delving into the life, work and legacy of each artist.
Renowned illustrator Laura Callaghan's female-focused work boasts a substantial social media following, making her the perfect advocate for this product.
Illustrations packed with clever details that nod to the life and work of each artist.
