The Rollercoaster Life of an Iconic Art Deco Painter Known as ”The Baroness with
The piece covers the period after World War I, when, as a consequence of the rebirth, in the U.S.A. and Europe, women started to enjoy freedom (right to vote, to work, to receive a salary). The author explains how the ”Roaring Twenties” led to freedom also in their behaviours. This article quotes the so-called ”flapper” women (they used heavy make-up and drank like men), who inspired the Polish Art Deco Artist Tamara de Lempicka (the Baroness with a Brush).
In short, due to the Russian Revolution, she and her husband flew to Paris, where she understood the importance of art. The writer claims that, however, she criticized the Impressionist and wanted to create a new style; her favourite subjects were well-known people.
According to the author, she worked very hard and this intense activity led her to a brilliant success: one of her most famous paintings is ”Tamara in a green Bugatti”.
The piece also talks about her scandals and homosexual relationships. The author writes about her separation from her husband and her daughter (painted in several portraits), who was brought to her grandmother.
The article reports that she got married once again and went to live in the U.S.A., where she painted many Hollywoodian stars.
The writer focuses on Abstract Expressionism, which became a trendy art (instead of Art Deco).
In brief, as a consequence of this, she adopted a new style, using a palette knife, which, unfortunately, did not give her back the past success.
To conclude she was rediscovered in the 70’s and in the 80’s, among cinema and music stars (like Madonna, for example).
