To keep in mind

Tamara de Lempicka, an iconic artist of the Art Deco movement, brilliantly constructed her image as a modern and liberated female painter. Her painting, influenced by cubism, the Italian Renaissance, and European avant-gardes, is characterized by sophisticated composition and a style that immediately captivated her audience. She managed to incorporate the codes of the emerging spectacle society, becoming an icon of the jet-set and a figure of the international high society. Her works, characterized by fashionable portraits and nudes, reflect the effervescence of the Roaring Twenties and the emancipation of women. Even after her withdrawal from the art scene, her work continues to be celebrated, reaching peaks in the art market and influencing contemporary figures like Madonna.
