Tamara de Lempicka-Art Deco Diva
By Alexandra Epps
Alexandra Epps explores the story of Tamara de Lempicka and her self-invention. Originally an aristocratic fugitive from Russia during the Revolution, she later became an icon of the roaring twenties in Paris as she re invented herself as a successful artist. Her style was unique and it reflected the shifting morals of the age, representative of the wealthy and decadent European elite and boldly celebrated female sexuality.
