Description from the seller
Tamara de Lempicka: “Auto-portrait, 1932”.
Signed on the plate.
Color offset.
Condition: the work is in excellent condition.
Format: 31 x 44 cm.
The artist was born Tamara Gorska in Warsaw, in 1898 or 1902. She studied at the Art Academy in Saint Petersburg and married a certain Lempicki.
After the Russian Revolution she moved (with her parents and her sister Adrienne) in 1918 to Paris, where she immersed herself in the cosmopolitan life of the French high society.
In 1938 she emigrated to the United States and settled in Beverly Hills. After World War II she traveled through America and Europe under the name Barones Kuffner. In 1980 she died in Mexico.
During the twenties and thirties Tamara de Lempicka was not only a well-known painter and a formidable lady, but also a woman of astonishing beauty. Luigi Chiarella described her as follows:
"Her movements were smooth, soft and harmonious, she radiated life and her face had large, almost artificial eyes and a mouth that smiled slightly, reddened by expensive French lipstick."
And so she also appears in this self-portrait from 1932 with the punning title, sitting behind the wheel of a sports car.
The original painting is in a private collection in Paris, France.
Never mounted/framed and kept in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
The shown photos are part of the description.
