Artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) became a cultural icon of the 1920s through her liberal and glamourous lifestyle. With works that exuded cool elegance and pushed the boundaries of sensuality she helped to define Art Deco and influence fashion.
We’ll travel to the de Young Museum in San Francisco on Thursday, November 7, to see this exhibition, which is the first major retrospective of her work in the United States, featuring over 100 works including drawings, still lifes, and portraits of the cosmopolitan elite from postwar Paris and Hollywood. With a technique that combines classical figural style with the modern energy of the international avant-garde, she captured the opulence and vitality of her time.
