Fine Art on Playing Cards and Tarot Cards
Fine art has often been portrayed on playing cards, usually as a card back design but, occasionally, on face cards as well. We’ve put together a list of examples of artists whose work is represented on playing cards and tarot cards, and hope to continue to add to this list as our researches continue.
