Tamara and the sexual freedom

Tamara de Lempicka, born Polish but with Russian nationality was a controversial woman for us, but a notable person in Art Deco era.
She is considered an art deco artist because she used the elegant and cold palette of the Between Wars period. But she has her own style, characterized by the use of geometric plans in the bodies and composition, and the sweetness of Renaissance in the faces.


Her style is unique and bold. She never copied, she just created a new version of Art influenced by some Avant-garde styles and the 16th Century Italian Renaissance.
But she sexualized her portraits, mainly women appear nude and we realize that she was a bisexual person. In fact, she never denied that she loves men and women in the same way.



For men she decided to paint them in a dark palette, more serious expression and elegantly dressed.
