- Tamara de Lempicka (1898–1980) was a Polish-born painter and one of the most celebrated figures of the Art Deco movement. Renowned for her distinctive style blending Cubism, Neoclassicism, and a sleek, modern sensibility, she became famous in the 1920s and 1930s for her portraits of aristocrats, intellectuals, and members of the Parisian elite. Her works are characterized by sharp lines, bold colors, and a polished, almost sculptural rendering of her subjects, which gave them a sense of glamour and sophistication.
Lempicka’s paintings are highly sought after in the art market today, with many fetching millions at auction. Collectors value her ability to capture the elegance, decadence, and modernity of the interwar period, as well as her masterful technique. The combination of rarity, historical significance, and timeless visual appeal ensures that her works maintain strong demand among museums and private collectors worldwide.
One of her notable works, Portrait du Marquis d'Afflito (1925), exemplifies her mastery of form and composition. In this work, the Marquis reclines in a confident, almost theatrical pose, dressed in a sleek blue suit and bow tie, set against a background of stylized foliage. The angular lines of the figure, the geometric treatment of shapes, and the rich, harmonious color palette reflect the Art Deco aesthetic at its peak. The portrait exudes sophistication and controlled sensuality, hallmarks of Lempicka’s style, making it both a striking visual statement and a prime example of her artistic legacy.
