This gorgeous volume, the official catalogue of the exhibition Tamara de Lempicka at the de Young Museum, presents the full arc of Lempicka’s career in the context of her life and her evolving identity, including her Polish and Russian origins, her marriages and other relationships, and her time in France, Italy, and the United States. This book unfolds chronologically through three sections that mark the stages of the artist’s life and the evolution of her artistic style, with particular focus on her Jewish heritage, her expression of gender, and her sexuality. Published by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Hardcover only. 256 pages, 200 color + b-w illustrations.
Tamara de Lempicka is recognized as one of the preeminent portrait painters of the Art Deco period, combining the classical figural style with the modern energy of the international avant-gardes. Through her own liberal lifestyle and bold pictorial technique, Lempicka captured the confidence, glamour, and effervescence of interwar Paris as well as the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity. Tamara de Lempicka will be on view at the de Young museum from October 12, 2024 through February 9, 2025.
