Today we are looking at one of my favourite artists from my favourite era. I am talking about the roaring 20's where the music was fantastic the clothes to die for and the art. The Jazz Age, flappers, We had cubism art deco pieces of furniture and the way they advertised example Bauhs and prohibition.
So lets get to the chase the painter is Tamara de Lempicka, she was born Maria Gorska of well-to-do parents in turn-of- the-century Poland. After her mother and father divorced, her wealthy grandmother spoiled her with clothes and travel.
By age 14 she was attending school in Lausanne, Switzerland. Tamara vacationed in St. Petersburg with her Aunt Stephanie, whose millionaire banker husband had their home decorated by the famous French firm Maison Jansen.
All this high living gave the young girl an idea of how she wanted to live and what her future should be. She fell in love with the most handsome bachelor in Warsaw, a lawyer named Taduesz Lempicki. She set her sights on him and two years later they were married in fashionable St. Petersburg. Her banker uncle provided the dowry, and Lempicki, who had no money of his own, was delighted to marry this beautiful l6 year old girl.
A year later, Taduesz was arrested by the Bolsheviks, and Tamara braved the Russian Revolution to free him, using her good looks to charm favors from the necessary officials. The couple fled to Paris and that's where the story of Tamara de Lempicka's fantastic life
