  1. I finally declared my Lempicka study finished.

    Y'all. I am so happy!

    This took me over a year - not just the hours of work but bc I'd get scared I'd ruin it so I'd leave it untouched for months.

  2. My art history theme for the merry month of May is a color: Pink! It was my grandmother’s favorite color. For today, I offer you Portrait of Romana de la Salle, 1928, by Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980), oil on canvas, 45 ⅞ by 28 ¾ in. (116.5 by 73 cm.), photo: Sotheby’s New York, 14 November 2022. #arthistory #artdeco #lempicka #womenartists #womanartist

    Excerpt from the catalogue note: “The slight tilt of Romana’s head and serpentine turn of her torso evoke the figuration of Botticelli and Raphael… while dramatic shadows employed throughout the present work allude to Lempicka's admiration of Mannerist painters. Romana’s body, anchoring the entire bottom of the picture plane and culminating with her delicate facial features at the top of the canvas, forms a triangular symmetry that mirrors the compositions of Neoclassical titans like David and Ingres… Accentuated by the ethereal draping of her pink dress, her voluminous forms defy containment by the canvas’ edges. As such, Lempicka confers the monumental power of a classical sculpture upon her wholly modern subject.”

  3. The week before, Luc is conducting an immersive limited-attendance online seminar on #painter #TamaraDeLempicka's #art and its relations to contemporaneous #music, #poetry, and #drama.

    #Lempicka thought #Picasso's #Cubism was ugly, refusing to follow the trend of non-representational #AbstractArt and absurdism. Instead, she painted beauty and sensuality and passion as her #ArtDeco style blossomed in the 1920s Paris art scene.

  4. After scoring three Tony Awards nominations, but not one for the coveted Best Musical, Broadway's "Lempicka" will close just a month after it opened, Sunday, May 19. The show is loosely based on the life of 20th century painter Tamara de Lempicka.
