Glamour, independence, reinvention. This short documentary opens a window into the life and art of the legendary Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. Featuring interviews with curator Furio Rinaldi and the artist’s great-granddaughter, Marisa de Lempicka, as well as archival footage of the artist herself, this film traces Lempicka’s life and career, from her childhood in Russia to her burgeoning art career in Paris to how she became an Art Deco icon.
