Description

Tamara de Lempicka: A Life of Deco and Decadence Born to Russian aristocrats in 1899, Tamara de Lempicka's life was marked by a dramatic escape from the Bolsheviks, which led her to begin a career that would include some of the most influential men and women of her time. Her paintings, like the artist herself, exude beauty and sexuality, yet were initially met with criticism and condemnation from contemporary critics. It wasn't until the 1980s, when collectors such as Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand, and Madonna took an interest in her work, that a resurgence of interest in de Lempicka's artistic accomplishments and personal life began to emerge. This biography offers a fresh perspective on the life of this extraordinary woman artist, whose work continues to captivate audiences today. With its richly detailed account of de Lempicka's life and art, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the art-deco period, women's history, or the lives of pioneering artists.
