Passion by Design: The Art and Times of Tamara de Lempicka

Baroness Kizette De Lempicka-Foxhall, 2020

Overview

This hardcover edition presents a classic biography of Tamara de Lempicka, an artist whose paintings defined the Art Deco movement and whose life embodied the spirit of the Jazz Age. As F. Scott Fitzgerald captured the 1920s in literature, de Lempicka translated its essence onto canvas. A striking figure, she navigated the Russian Revolution, Paris, Hollywood, and New York, creating iconic portraits of the era's elite. Her Art Deco works reflected a life of remarkable excess, exceeding even literary portrayals.
