"The work of Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980), the 'Baroness with a Brush,' incorporates elements of Cubism and Neoclassicism in a blend of form and function. Lempicka's paintings, including a self-portrait as the driver of a green Bugatti, often depict self-assured women, exuding elegance and transgressive sexuality while combining the modern with the classical. This survey presents the arc of Lempicka's career in the context of her life and her evolving identity, including her Polish and Russian origins, her marriages and other relationships, and her time in France, Italy, and the United States. This book unfolds chronologically through three sections that mark the stages of the artist's life and the evolution of her artistic style, with particular focus on her Jewish heritage, her expression of gender, and her sexuality."-- Provided by publisher
