"Passion by Design reminds us of how Tamara de Lempicka helped define Art Deco for a generation. Her neo-classical style is instantly recognizable and has been inspiration for Hollywood and Wall Street alike. This book functions as monograph and biography. It is rich with examples of the artist’s work, and reveals what drove this influential artist from fame to obscurity to fame again." - Larry / Sales Associate
Passion by Design, authored by Tamara de Lempicka’s own daughter, is an intimate look at a fascinating personality, and remains the best account of her life and work. This new edition is illustrated with vibrant color reproductions of her finest paintings, as well as exclusive photographs from family albums. Hardcover, 200 pages.
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.
