(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.

  • "Parisian Street", Cityscape Oil on Canvas by Robert Farrington
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    This Robert Farrington's painting serves as a visual gateway to a distinct period in post-war France, composed with a deep respect for the elements interwoven into the collective memory of Paris. His work adeptly engages with the archetypal settings and concepts that convey the quintessence of this beloved and frequently visited capital. As the viewer gazes upon this artwork, they are instantly immersed in the ambiance of a food trade street, and especially the familiar historic brasserie “Au Pied de Cochon” - the sole establishment in the painting that still exists nowadays - and its surroundings at the heart of the bustling Halles district. At "6 Rue Coquillère", the act of opening the doors, each adorned with handles that resemble pig's trotters, transports one through a temporal gateway into the quintessential French world of "la cochonnaille"... The renowned "Pied de Cochon" restaurant made its debut in 1947. In its early days, it became the preferred gathering place for the "Forts des Halles" – the diligent laborers who tirelessly transported goods through the pavilions of the old Halles de Paris. From these dedicated workers to the luminaries of the time, this establishment emerged as a symbol of Parisian life. Farrington reconstructs a scene around this restaurant, nourished by her own Parisian experience when he was a young American living in France. An iconic Brigitte Bardot poster...
