Tamara de Lempicka | Still Life

In pioneering her own distinct style, Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) absorbed a variety of elements from the avant-garde movements of her time - the geometric aesthetic and fragmented perspective of Cubism, the vibrant color palette of the Fauves, the proportionality of Neo-Classicism, the dynamic lines of the Futurists, the dream-like spatial logic of Surrealism and the razor-sharp draftsmanship and hyper-realism of the Neue Sachlichkeits in central Europe-blending these styles and influences with her love of the Italian Old Masters to extraordinary effect.
