Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) was a Polish-born French painter and one of the most prominent artists of the Art Deco movement. Known for her elegant, stylized portraits, she became the definitive portraitist of the Jazz Age, capturing the glamour and sophistication of 1920s-1930s European high society. Her distinctive style combined classical techniques with modernist aesthetics, featuring flowing lines, vibrant colors, and elongated figures.
