TAMARA de LEMPICKA The Art Deco Icon

Tamara de Lempicka is a remarkable volume created in collaboration with the artist’s great‑granddaughter, Marisa de Lempicka. Exquisitely designed and thoughtfully composed, the book presents a curated selection of paintings, drawings, and photographs that illuminate the brilliance of the woman hailed as the Queen of Art Deco. Through its carefully arranged visuals, the album invites readers into the captivating world of an artist whose life and work continue to fascinate. The emotional, intimate texts written especially for this edition by Marisa de Lempicka form the heart of the publication. The opening section outlines the artist’s biography, followed by a deeply personal recollection of a summer the author spent with her legendary great‑grandmother. The final part reflects on Tamara de Lempicka’s enduring relevance and the renewed global appreciation of her art. An insightful essay by renowned Polish art philosopher Maria Anna Potocka enriches the volume further. Her text offers a compelling interpretation of Lempicka’s artistic language, examines the forces that shaped her life, and analyzes the influence she exerted on the history of modern art—as well as the influence art itself had on her identity and choices. The album stands out for its engaging texts and its striking visual material: rare archival photographs, powerful canvases, and elegant drawings that together form a vivid portrait of an extraordinary artist.
