Tamara De Lempicka

Tamara De Lempicka was a famed Art Deco portrait painter throughout the early 20th century, she worked under commissions to create some of the most stylised, contemporary and popular painting of the 1920s and 30s. The individuality of the images due to the emphasised and often sharpened form of the subjects, coupled with the simple and usually monotone background creates strong, bold images with a stance of importance and integrity.
