Tamara de Lempicka 1898-1980

De Lempicka stood at the center of the sophisticated Paris art world of the 1920s and 30s. Her love for beautiful women, elegant automobiles, and the modern metropolis provided not only motifs for her pictures, but also influenced her artistic style. She pioneered a new image of life on the screen, evident in the new, self-confident woman and the changing aspects of femininity and masculinity.
