Summary:

The changing aspects of femininity and masculinity Tamara de Lempicka
(1898-1980) stood at the center of the sophisticated Paris art world
of the 1920s and 30s. Her love for beautiful women, elegant
automobiles, and the modern metropolis provided not only motifs for
her pictures, but also influenced her artistic style. Simultaneously
with her career as artist, Tamara de Lempicka pioneered a new image
of life on the screen, evident in the new, self-confident woman and
the changing aspects of femininity and masculinity. The same sense of
style was reflected in a futuristic cult of speed, domestic design
forms promulgated by the Bauhaus, and the dandyism of a George
Brummell. Tamara de Lempicka's best-known painting, "Self-Portrait,
or Tamara in a Green Bugatti", presents the artist as a female dandy
brimming with cool elegance. Whether as an Art-Déco artist, a
post-Cubist or a Neoclasissist, de Lempicka struck the taste of a
cosmopolitan (and wealthy) public that found its own image reflected
in her work.
