"TDE LEMPICKA"; publisher - Felix Rosenstiel's Widow & Son.Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) was a Polish-born painter known for her distinctive Art Deco style, which combined elements of Cubism and Neoclassicism with a modern sensibility. She gained notoriety in the 1920s and 1930s, particularly in Paris, where she became part of bohemian and aristocratic circles. Lempicka's works are characterized by elegant lines, bold forms and a focus on glamour, luxury and sensuality, making her one of the most iconic artists of the Art Deco movement.Her paintings often feature elegant, stylized portraits of wealthy and fashionable people, as well as nude figures executed with a high gloss, almost sculptural quality. Lempicka's characters, mostly women, are portrayed with strength and sensuality, which helped her gain recognition at a time when female artists were often marginalized. Her work epitomized the wealth and hedonism of the interwar period, and she earned the nickname "Baroness with a Paintbrush" due to her aristocratic connections and lavish lifestyle.References:work listed in Catalogue raisonné Field # B 137;Lit. by P.
