Brian Williams (1958-2002) was an artist, author, Tarot
lecturer, and Italian expert who brought twenty-five years of
experience and study to these related disciplines. He held a BA in
Italian Renaissance Iconographic studies from the College of
Letters and Science of the University of California, Berkeley
(1982). He studied in Italy for a year at the Universita degli
studi in Padova (Padua), Italy (1978-1979). He was later an
artist-in-residence at the Istituto nazionale della grafica,
Calcografia in Rome in 1984-85. In his four previous books,
particularly the Renaissance Tarot, and in his many workshop and
lectures, he established himself as an expert in the history and
symbolism of the tarot. In addition, his divinatory decks have
marked him as one of America's most prominent and prolific tarot
artists. They include the "Renaissance Tarot," "PoMo (Postmodern)
Tarot," "Angel Journey," and "The Minchiate Tarot." Williams was a
frequent speaker and presenter at tarot organization events and
meetings, and led tarot-focused educational/celebratory tours to
Italy.
