Description

Realistic acrylic painting of Tamara de Lempicka, birth name Tamara Gorska (Warsaw, 16 May 1898 - Cuernavaca, 18 March 1980), a Polish art deco painter, painted by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering. The original painting is 120 x 90 cm.

De Lempicka was born into a wealthy and prominent Polish family. Her father was a lawyer, her mother a well-known society lady. Decisive for her artistic development was a trip she made to Italy as early as 1911, where she came into contact with Renaissance painting. After her parents' divorce in 1912, she went to a boarding school in Lausanne.

In 1916, she married the lawyer Tadeusz Lempicki and went to live in St Petersburg. After the October Revolution (1917), they both fled to Copenhagen, where they had a daughter, Kizette, in 1920. Since her husband could not find work, Tamara started painting for a living from then on. Within a short time, she subsequently became one of the most sought-after painters of her time. Her paintings combine a cool Renaissance reminiscent pragmatism with sensual sultriness. In the process, she also positioned herself as a diva of art; after her initial success, she moved into a luxurious flat in Paris and had several high-profile affairs. In 1928, she divorced her husband and married Hungarian industrialist Raoul Baron Kuffner de Diószegh in 1933.

In the mid-1930s, Tamara de Lempicka fell prey to severe depression and her artistic output stagnated. In 1939, after a short holiday, the Lempicka-Kuffner family settled in the United States and later in Mexico. Tamara de Lempicka died in Mexico in 1980. Her ashes were scattered over the Popocatépetl volcano.
