Description from the seller
Tamara de Lempicka:
“Man with a Hat (Tamara's first husband), 1928”.
Color offset lithograph.
Condition: the work is in very good condition.
Format: 44 x 31 cm.
The men of Tamara are all conquerors. They are heroes who have never fought and sovereignly take what they want. Their day is lit by electric light, their stage is the parquet floor of high society. They promise lustful adventures. But she sensed the brutality behind the façade and conveyed the chill of her erotique.
The portrait of the man with the top hat in his hand depicts Tamara's first husband, whom she married in Saint Petersburg. The unfinished left hand of the man bears witness to their separation in 1928, the year the painting was made. In 1934 Tamara de Lempicka married for the second time, this time in Switzerland, to the wealthy Hungarian baron Raoul Kuffner.
She preferred rich, older men in order to pay for money and luxury. She also had a relationship with the flamboyant Italian national poet and Mussolini’s friend, Gabriele d'Annunzio.
The original painting is located in Paris, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou.
Never framed and kept in a dark archival storage between protective acid-free paper.
The shown photos are part of the description.
