Tamara de Lempicka, was a Polish painter who spent her working life in France and the United States. She is best known for her polished Art Deco portraits of aristocrats and the wealthy, and for her highly stylized paintings of nudes. As usual, I select a dozen paintings in addition to the self portrait posted above (her iconic work Tamara in the Green Bugatti from 1925). Unfortunately, I could not include many of my favourite paintings by de Lempicka, because anything created after 1928 is still under copyright.
