An aura of mystery has surrounded Tamara de Lempicka since she was born, not in Warsaw in 1902, as she claimed, but according to official records in 1898 in Moscow. The beautiful and scandalous Tamara was the extravagant muse of Art Deco, an icon of the roaring twenties, and a successful painter of intensely sensual portraits that were powerfully sculptural with Cubist lines, embellished with sophisticated decorative elements. This is as much about her as about her art, perhaps more so, with wonderful period photographs of the seductive woman and bon vivant, interspersed with unusual drawings and details of her works.
Cool colors, cramped spaces and stark contrasts between light and shade surround the unforgettable faces of rich, elegant, emancipated, and theatrical women fixed in their existential melancholy, as well as her still-life and portraits. her polished Art Deco portraits of aristocrats and the wealthy, and for her highly stylized paintings of nu-des.
