Tamara de Lempicka (16 May 1898 – 18 March 1980) captured the whirlwind decade of the 1920s on canvas, painting (and charming) the rich and famous of Europe – her slick style of portraiture embodied the glamour, style, modernity and sexuality of the Art Deco period that was fashionable during the inter-war years. Like Art Deco itself, her work fell out of favour during the 1940s and 50s, but she was rediscovered in the 1970s when a gallery owner in Paris mounted a retrospective of her work. Today paintings that were unsellable for three decades fetch many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
