About Tamara De Lempicka
Tamara de Lempicka was a Polish painter working in Paris from to then in United States and Mexico. Known as the Diva of Art Deco, her “Self-Portrait" , (Tamara in the Green Bugatti), has been called the “Icon of Modern Woman”. Famous for her polished nudes and vibrant portraits of the jazz age glitterati, she invented her own unique style combining extreme modernism with neo-classicism. The Google Doodle of May 16, in celebration of what would have been her th birthday was broadcast to 14 nations along with her pictures and bio. It stated: “Few artists embodied the exuberant roaring twenties like Tamara de Lempicka. Her fast-paced opulent lifestyle manifests itself perfectly into the stylized Art Deco subjects she celebrated in her painting.” The famous German designer Wolfgang Joop, one of her earliest collectors said, “Tamara de Lempicka was the first Pop Star of the century.” Tamara de Lempicka with Rose Descat Hat, , by Madame D’Ora Tamara de Lempicka with cigarette, circa by Camuzzi Tamara de Lempicka and Madonna: the singer is the most fervent collector, finding inspiration in Tamara’s daring andSummary of Tamara de Lempicka
Tamara de Lempicka was the lone traditional easel painter in the entirety of the Art Deco style. Her sources of inspiration ranged dramatically: she adored Italian Renaissance painting; she was characterized by critics as a sort of modern-day Ingres, although the comparisons were more often not intended to flatter; she absorbed the avant garde art of the era - particularly post-cubist abstraction but of a "softened" style. Perhaps most influential was Lempicka's desire to capitalize on her social connections to create a niche for her portraiture, which most often featured well-to-do, cosmopolitan types. The Art Deco style, lavish in a less visually complex way than its predecessor, Art Nouveau, was probably the ideal vehicle for her trendy style. Most notably, despite its decorative quality, her work provided her with an outlet for unconventional self-expression: truly a product of her era, the libertine golden age between the two world wars, Lempicka, a bisexual, made bold, liberated female sexuality the linchpin of her art.
