Lempicka popular paintings and quotes

April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Tamara de Lempicka created Art deco paintings to a high level during the early 20th century. Lempicka prints and oil painting reproductions have been very popular purchases recently as the name of this artist grows in strength in recent years as her work gains strength thanks to the retro acceptance of older art styles, including art deco.

Lempicka’s life was as deliciously decadent as her paintings. She was born in Poland on May 16, 1898, married and moved to Russia at 16 and escaped the turmoil of the Russian Revolution at 20 with her Russian husband, Thadeus Lempitzski. They had one daughter, Kizette, who was frequently featured in her mother’s famous paintings. They divorced shortly after Lempicka learned of her husband’s sordid affairs with a multitude of women.

Lempicka attended the Academic Ransom from 1925 to 1939, studying under Maurice Denis who is a famous painter. Lempicka paintings was first exhibited in Paris at the 1925 Exposition International des Arts Decorates et Industrials Moderns. Less than two years later she won the first prize at the Exposition International des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux.

This catapulted her to celebrity status and all of Europe‘s high society coveted a portrait painted by the gorgeous and gifted Tamara. She led a scandalous lifestyle and was rumored to have slept with many of her male and female ‘subjects’.

She married Baron Kuffner, one of her patrons, in 1933 and together they escaped Paris to Hollywood in 1939. They moved to New York in 1943, where she began to experiment in abstract art and still life. A negative review of one of her exhibits, and the death of her husband in 1962, led her to abandon painting once and for all.

There was some renewed interest in her paintings during the Art Deco resurgence in the 1970s, however, de Lempicka had fallen into a depression and retreated from public life at this point. She moved to Mexico in 1978 and died there in 1980.

Tamara de Lempicka’s paintings are more popular than ever today and she is considered to be one of the most famous and most admired of all the Art Deco artists.

Lempicka Quotes:

I live life in the margins of society, and the rules of normal society don’t apply to those who live on the fringe.

I liked to go out in the evenings and have a good-looking man tell me how beautiful I am or how great an artist I am.
