Join us February 20, 2021 at 3pm for this great lecture!
Tamara
de Lempicka’s (1898 -1980) coming of age as an artist in Paris aligned
perfectly with the advent of the Jazz Age. In a style all her own, her bold,
glossy paintings epitomized the decadent lifestyle embraced by those in her
avant-garde circle. In those years, when most women were far from liberated,
her work celebrating feminine power and sensuality with a female gaze was
groundbreaking. In this lecture, her great-granddaughter Marisa de Lempicka
will discuss the artist’s work, her life and her loves, on the occasion of the
publication of a new edition of Passion by Design by Kizette de
Lempicka-Foxhall and Marisa de Lempicka (Abbeville Press). The conversation
will be hosted by Colette Laroya of Abbeville Press.
Passion
by Design, authored by Tamara de Lempicka’s own daughter, is an intimate
look at a fascinating personality, and remains the best account of her life and
work. This new edition is illustrated with vibrant color reproductions of her
finest paintings, as well as exclusive photographs from family albums. A new
introduction by Marisa de Lempicka, the artist’s great-granddaughter, explores
the ever-evolving legacy of Tamara de Lempicka, from the record eight-figure
price fetched by her painting Portrait de Marjorie Ferry in February 2020
(smashing her previous record set just a few months previous for La Tunique
rose) to the new musical based on her
life. The book will be available at a discount to all ADSLA Members and ticket
buyers. The discount code will be sent by email.
