 Tamara de Lempicka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamara de Lempicka (May 16, 1898, Warsaw, Poland - March 18, 1980 Cuernavaca, Mexico), noted Art Deco painter, was born Maria Górska in a wealthy family in Warsaw, Poland (then in the Russian Empire).
When de Lempicka informed her mother and daughter that she would not be returning from America for Christmas in 1929, Malvina was so angry that she burned de Lempicka's enormous collection of designer hats; Kizette watched them burn, one by one.
De Lempicka lived long enough, however, for the wheel of fashion to turn a full circle: before she died a new generation discovered her art and greeted it with enthusiasm.

 Women in Art- Tamara de Lempicka
In 1918, she studied painting at the Academe de la Grand Chaumiere, and was privately tutored by Maurice Denis.
Her definitive stamp, however, Tamara received from the instruction she went on to receive from Andre Lhote: painter, decorator, critic, art-teacher, theoretician - activities which he himself found difficulty in reconciling, and which often enough prevented him from realizing the subtle syntheses of his inspiration.
This was what he called the "plastic metaphor", a metaphor which Tamara used time and again in her artistic output: in her harems populated by provocative idiots; in her nudes, which are also allegories of lasciviousness; or in her portraits characterized by the haughty expression typical of a certain caste.

At 16, she caught the eye of Tadeusz Lempicka by appearing at a St. Petersburg ball with two geese in tow, and her pursuit of the handsome but spineless playboy culminated in an ill-fated marriage.
The book's final chapters are affecting, as Claridge adeptly shows de Lempicka's decline into a cantankerous society lady, color coordinating her clothes with her car, tormenting her daughter and granddaughters and painting her houses lavender.
A sumptuous bite into the life of an artist; this story is simmered in vibrant retellings of Tamara's historical tribulations, her numerous tumultuous relationships (both male & female), her eccentricities along with an almost infamous ego, and the constant tribulations of trying to express oneself via pigment & canvas.
