(after) Tamara de Lempicka
"La Belle Raphaela" Oil on Canvas after Tamara de Lempicka

About the Item

This tribute art piece - an awe-inspiring representation of a nude, lascivious woman before or after an intimate embrace - is a celebration not only of Tamara de Lempika’s skill and talent in creating these masterpieces but also serves as a powerful symbol that pays homage to this strong woman who embraced freedom without reservations or qualms; offering up her voluptuous representation of femininity without submissiveness, thereby giving us an ode to beauty and feminine intimacy. Tamara de Lempicka was an Art Deco painter who rose to fame in the 1920s and 1930s, an iconic symbol of female liberation. Born in Poland and fleeing to Paris with her husband and daughter after the Russian Revolution, she flourished as part of the vibrant artistic atmosphere under the guidance of Lhôte and the friendship of Gide, Colette, etc..! Tamara created captivating portraits of female models - sometimes scandalous - while determinedly striving for success and recognition within Art Deco culture. Witnessing all the tributes she has raised, including this one, is fascinating. Her goal was not to copy but rather create a new style with luminous and brilliant colors, rediscovering the elegance of her models. Her words echo modernity even today: “I am the embodiment of woman! A modern woman who does with her life what she has decided to do with it” – making this painting a remarkable replica execution of one of her paintings - both an artistic tribute and an admirative one towards free women everywhere.
