Tamara de Lempicka Wine Label
10 x 12 inches
Oil Painting
Connoisseur Wine Masters Series
I was surprised to find and landscape painting
by Tamara de Lempicka as most of her work that
I have studied is figurative, cubisim from the art deco period.
This painting is called "Street in Night"
I saw this painting in many color combinations so I decided to
do my own rendition. I am still trying to figure out why
she included the pyramids?
The Figures on the wine label are my take on her
painting titled "The Kiss". This was another
surprise, especially the warm colors she used opposed to
the brilliant cool colors that hse used in most of her paintings.
So my inspirstion here was to combine two
of de Lempicka's paintings together in one composition
that I was surprised to find out of the realm for her typical paintings.
I am sure I will be doing more de Lempicka's along the way.
Lots of fun painting cubism and makes me wonder how she and Picasso
saw things within cubism...or should I say...cubism within things?
______________________________________
Tamara de Lempicka (Łempicka) (May 16, 1898 – March 18, 1980), born Maria Górska in Warsaw, in partitioned Poland,[1] was a Polish Art Deco painter and "the first woman artist to be a glamour star.
Born into a wealthy and prominent family, her father was Boris Gurwik-Górski, a Polish lawyer, and her mother, the former Malvina Decler, a Polish socialite. Maria was the middle child with two siblings. She attended boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, and spent the winter of 1911 with her grandmother in Italy and the French Riviera, where she was treated to her first taste of the Great Masters of Italian painting. In 1912, her parents divorced and Maria went to live with her wealthy Aunt Stefa in St. Petersberg, Russia. When her mother remarried, she became determined to break away to a life of her own. In 1913, at the age of fifteen, while attending the opera, Maria spotted the man she became determined to marry. She promoted her campaign through her well-connected uncle and in 1916 she married Tadeusz Łempicki in St. Petersburg—a well-known ladies' man, gadabout, and lawyer by title, who was tempted by the significant dowry.
In 1917, during the Russian Revolution, Tadeusz was arrested in the dead of night by the Bolsheviks. Maria searched the prisons for him and after several weeks, with the help of the Swedish consul, she secured his release. They traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark then London, England and finally to Paris, France to where Maria's family had also escaped, along with numerous upper-class Russian refugees
