Tamara de Lempicka
Top 10 in Top 15 Greatest Painters Of All Time
Tamara Lempicka (16 May 1898 – 18 March 1980), also known as Tamara de Lempicka, was a Polish painter who lived in France and the United States for most of her career. Her polished Art-Deco portraits of nobles and the affluent, as well as her highly stylized paintings of nudes, are among her most well-known works.
Lempicka's style was a mix of late, polished cubism and neoclassicism, with a strong influence from Jean-Dominique Ingres' work. Her work's graphic quality and rich, brilliant colors established her as a forerunner in Art Deco painting, earning her the moniker "The Baroness with a Brush". Today, her work is being used as inspiration by designers and it is typical of the Golden Age.
