Recognized as the defining painter of the Art Deco period, Tamara de Lempicka captured the vitality, glamour, and effervescence of the Parisian postwar années folles while demonstrating masterful technical skill. Lempicka forged a boldly cosmopolitan, classical figural style that infused the European pictorial tradition with the frenetic energy of American modernity.
