Preceded by her glamorous portraits and bohemian, champagne-swilling reputation, Tamara de Lempicka, a.k.a. “The Baroness with a Brush,” brought Art Deco to the canvas.
EDIT: Tamara de Lempicka's birth name was Tamara Rosalia Gurwik-Gorska.

Her art still has a strikingly modern look to this day. Makes me think of A Scanner Darkly.

No wonder Madonna is a huge fan of Tamara . She uses her style with huge poster signs in her “ Open Your Heart”video. Love her work

"Ravenous promiscuity" is a brilliant choice of words. The entire piece is exceedingly well-written, and I had to go back a few times to make sure I caught everything!

Important to notice: the "Art Deco" label was not used by those 1920's artists themselves, even if there had been an exhibition in Paris in 1925 about "Arts Décoratifs". The shortened "Art Deco" label was only introduced in the 1970's and quickly spread.

I don't study art, but if you were to show me these paintings with no other information, I would assume that they were made today. They're so modern, clear, and stylish.

Totally! It’s interesting that her work was so ‘of the times’ and yet it’s aged really well. Thank you for watching!

@marisadelempicka2529 3 года назад

Thank you for creating this video! You are very articulate and summarized Tamara's art and legacy well. There are many truths and myths about Tamara de Lempicka. For one, her real name was Tamara Rosalia Gurwik-Gorska. Not Maria. Her father was Jewish, so definitely no Maria in Tamara's name. Also the relationship with her only daughter Kizette, (my grandmother) was tumultuous but ultimately loving.

Wow! Thank you so much for your comment! There’s lots of conflicting information out there so you’re the most reputable source we could have asked for :) I’ll post an edit to her birth name in the video’s description as well as the link to her estate’s website. Your great grandmother was a truly incredible artist!

@@TheArtTourist Thanks!!! Yes. She truly was a fascinating artist that created her own unique style. She was a strong and intriguing woman. Extremely smart. She had no agent, she represented herself very successfully.

@grzegorzmurzynowski9764 2 месяца назад

How did she actually write her chosen name, was it with Polish "Ł" (L-slash) or the standard Latin "L", and how did she pronounce it / expected to be pronounced?

@piotrzagroba5301 2 года назад

The video was great, but as a Pole, every time you pronounced her last name, I winced. No one ever gets that in Polish last names with endings -cki, -cka, the "c" is not silent, it makes a "ts" sound. Łempicka sounds like "wempeetska". Hearing "lempika" breaks my heart a little.

@jc3drums916 Год назад

Apparently she dropped the Ł for L in her surname, so who knows, maybe she just went with the mispronunciation within her lifetime. I would say it's better to go with what most people recognize, unfortunate as that is. I mean, think about how many East Asian surnames are completely butchered in other languages, but we all just accept it and even use the mispronunciations ourselves when speaking in other languages, because correcting everyone is tedious, possibly confusing, and ultimately futile. Łempicki should retain the original Polish pronunciation though, as any mispronunciation is more likely based on guesswork and not convention, not to mention it retains the original Polish spelling.

@victoriyak2758 4 месяца назад

i feel you bro, my polish mom‘s name isnt even hard to pronounce but it does have a „rz“ sound. people here in germany have been butchering her name beyond recognition for as long as i can remember, sometimes calling her a completely different name that just starts with the same initial. i will never not cringe😂

As I understand it, the Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe was built in 1934, not 1925.

@TheArtTourist 3 года назад

Based on our research, both dates are correct. The Rolls was manufactured in ‘25 and then heavily modified into the famous Jonckheere Coupe in ‘34/‘35. We went with 1925 for simplicity’s sake. Thanks for watching!

(Lempicka is pronounced something like this: > LEM-P'IZKA < )

@TheArtTourist 3 года назад

Thanks! We’re aware, we usually defer to how American/British institutions pronounce artists’ names as it’s more familiar to our primarily American/British audience, but going forward we’ll nod to the original pronunciation in our intros.
