Talk:Tamara de Lempicka

message: I'm going to restore 'and was famous for her many liaisons with both men and women' which was shortened to just 'and was famous for her many liaisons' by an anonymous user (Who's IP has been a source of vandalism according to the talk page for it (though it is a shared one it points out)), whilst I don't usually think a persons sexuality is terribly relevant, (do we specifically comment the heterosexuality of every historical figure who is?) it does seem in the case of Tamara De Limpicka to be relevant to mention it, most of the biographical information about her makes mention of it, including that by her daughter, and that linked on the main article, and in the context of the different societal attitudes to sexuality of the day it does illustrate something of how she was perceived in her day, also many people have commented on how her sexuality influenced her work which I think makes it very relevant to at least mention.

Poland did not exist as a nation state in 1898.  Warsaw was then part of the Russian Empire.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.183.45 (talk) 19:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Tamara Łempicka was born in Moscow or Warsaw in 1895 or 1898
Poland did not exist as a nation state in 1898. Warsaw was then part of the Russian Empire.  
It's true but exist small country- Polish Kingdom which king was russian tsar.(so if Lempicka was born in Warsaw, you'd say "she was born in Polish Kingdom". If she was born in Moscow, you'd say "she was born in Russian Empire".
Her surname - Lempicka - is false because her true surname is Łempicka ( "Ł" you should read how "W" in Warsaw).

thread_title:  Correction 

message: There is evidence that Lempicka created an exotic history for herself, but was actually from very humble beginnings, or so I have read in books of her work. There is also some dispute as to where she was born (some say Moscow). None of this is mentioned in the article. Johnny "ThunderPeel2001" Walker (talk) 11:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: B-class review

message: According to the page at present, she married in Russia but her husband's surname is Polish: Łempicka. This has bearing on the name's pronunciation (though she went by "de Lempicka" presumably since relocating to Paris), which I'm verifying for Wikidata as there's an inconsistency in its transcription into non-roman alphabet WPs. If her husband was ethnically Polish and not Russian, this detail needs to be clarified with its reference cited, and the text changed accordingly. -- Deborahjay (talk) 07:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You raise some interesting points here.  Having lived in St. Petersburg myself, I understand the complexity of separating ethic from national identity.   To be on the safe side I've changed the text to simply say that her husband was a prominent lawyer, without going into whether he was Polish or Russian, or both.

thread_title:  Married a Russian lawyer 

message: For Tamara de Lempicka's surname, there's an inconsistency among Wikipedia versions' transcriptions into non-roman alphabets. Russian and Ukrainian follow the Polish pronunciation of the letter "c" as [t͡s] so that the "cki" is pronounced [t͡ski], while Hebrew, Arabic and Persian ignore this, with the letters "cki" pronounced as [k]. The following details aren't mentioned in the article and require clarification: 
* At what point did she change the surname's style from "Łempicka" to "de Lempicka"?
* How did she pronounce her surname while in France, the USA, and Mexico? 
What I seek for the latter is how she was known in the art world, whether or not according to Polish orthography (probably better known in France than in the USA or Mexico). -- Deborahjay (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

message: I apologize if this comment should have been placed elsewhere, but I couldn't find a accurate tag to mark the spot itself in the article.
There's a citation from "Noreen (2016), p. 93." under the subsection "Career." This is not a book that:
1) Is in the reference list, and
2) I can find anything about doing an online search.
I suspect the correct citation should be "Néret (2016), p. 93," but I don't have access to this book in order to check that this is correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultramartin (talk • contribs) 16:31, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello,
TDL is a painter. "Art déco" is a design movement and cannot be applyed to a painter. Painters have their own categories of movements. That's why I removed it. While waiting for your movement proposal, Merangs, it is better not to write anything in the infobox. Lekselle (talk) 07:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Lekselle, thank you for taking this to talk. I am not an expert in art or any concepts related to it but please see Section 8 "Painting" of the Art Deco article. Tamara is mentioned there, with a source. Her style has been called as "Art Deco". Merangs (talk) 14:10, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I saw it written elsewhere too. I am not a specialist of the period neither. But in the page Art déco, they say: "Art deco painting was by definition decorative, designed to decorate a room or work of architecture"; such an activity is not mentioned in the page TDL. If you agree, Merangs, we could wait for other sourced opinions? Lekselle (talk) 22:35, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The title of a major exhibition of Lempicka's work organized in 2004 by the Royal Academy of Arts, London and the Kunstforum Wien was Tamara de Lempicka: Art Deco Icon. In the catalogue's Foreword, the curators Dr. Ingried Brugger and Professor Phillip King CBE write: "De Lempicka is generally identified as the embodiment of the Art Deco style of Paris in the 1920s". Elsewhere in the catalogue (p. 39), Brugger writes: "Art Deco influenced the look of a whole epoch, from works of art down to the simplest everyday objects. Like certain works by the American Georgia O'Keefe, De Lempicka's paintings played a part in creating the style of that time. Yet they are much more than merely a direct translation into painting of an innovative decorative style." In Tamara de Lempicka (Taschen, 2000. p. 11), Gilles Néret describes her as "this star of Art Deco painting". In Tamara de Lempicka (Parkstone, 2006, p. 22), Patrick Bade writes: "Diaghilev's designers, notably Leon Bakst, played a vital role in developing the Art Deco style with which de Lempicka became associated." Also notice here that a painting by de Lempicka adorns the cover of a book titled Art Deco Painting.  Ewulp (talk) 01:34, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, Ewulp. That's enough to convince me, Merangs 🙂️. Lekselle (talk) 10:22, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
