Tamara De Lempicka: Paris 1920-1938 by Gioia Mori (Book)
About the Item
Tamara de Lempicka is a phenomenon. It was of its time, it remains so today. In her time, in the Paris of the twenties and thirties, she brilliantly embodied a happy moment of artistic life and participated in a coterie for whom adventure was a real aesthetic of existence. Tamara was a prodigy of staging, in whom the elegance and art of bewitching men and women, inherited from the seducers of the eighteenth century, were combined with modern and feminist positions. Her life lends itself admirably to the elaboration of a legend - wandering, worried, shared between Europe and the Americas: from Poland, where she was born in 1898, to Russia; then from St. Petersburg to Paris. From 1918 to 1939, while living in Paris, her second and third homeland was Italy, where she frequently went and worked sporadically in Germany. Then she leaves for America: from the East Coast to the West Coast, from New York to Hollywood. And finally, Mexico and Cuernavaca, retirement of tired billionaires, where she died in 1980 in memory of her glory and her loves. This book focuses more specifically on Tamara's painting: a real police investigation that has borne fruit - unpublished information, unknown paintings, cleared enigmas. 287 pages. 1550 grams.

By Modern History
Located in Atlanta, GA
Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux.
Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris!
The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...
