The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival | Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Directed by Julie Rubio (USA, 2024, 96 min.). Massachusetts premiere.
With her distinctive high-gloss sensual nudes and cooly elegant portraits of high society in the Jazz Age, Polish Jewish artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco style and the glamour and transgressive vitality of post WW1 Paris. After stunning the art world in the 1920s with her showstopping work, which mixed cubist and neoclassicist styles, Lempicka fled to the United States in 1940 amidst the rise of fascism in Europe.
