Description from the seller
- Tamara de Lempicka (after), giclée print on smooth matte paper (approx. 300gsm - refers to paper thickness/density).
Stamp on the verso.
- Condition: excellent. Never framed, never exposed.
- Size: 54.5 x 36 cm.
- Tamara de Lempicka is one of the most iconic and sought-after figures of 20th-century modern art, internationally celebrated for her unmistakable Art Deco style, combining classical draftsmanship with a sleek, modern aesthetic inspired by Cubism, Neoclassicism and the elegance of the interwar period. Her work is instantly recognizable for its sculptural female figures, polished surfaces and timeless sense of glamour, qualities that have ensured her strong and consistent presence on the international art market, with enduring demand among collectors of modern, decorative and design-oriented art.
The model (1925) is a quintessential example of Lempicka’s mature style, presenting the female nude as a monumental, self-contained form, both sensual and powerful. The carefully modeled anatomy, smooth tonal transitions and controlled lighting emphasize volume and elegance, while the restrained palette and refined composition reflect the influence of contemporary fashion, architecture and luxury design. Created during Lempicka’s most influential Parisian years, this work embodies the modern spirit of the 1920s and her unique ability to merge fine art with sophisticated interior aesthetics.
Today, works by Tamara de Lempicka are frequently collected alongside major modern and contemporary names such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Fernand Léger, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Banksy. Her art fits seamlessly into curated interiors, luxury spaces and contemporary design environments, appealing to collectors interested in modern figurative art, interior decoration and Art Deco aesthetics.
