Tamara de Lempicka 1898-1980

Abstract

Tamara de Lempicka’s fusion of artistic influences from 16th & 17th century Italy with the exuberant modernity of 1920’s Parisian society made her a leading figure in the world of Art Deco’s painters. Lempicka’s accomplishments and renown came from a mixture of innate design skills, her study of art and the inventiveness of her vision. This article examines the development of her work and its later reception.
