Description: The exhibition "Tamara Łempicka. A Woman in Travel" is an invitation to the world of the 1920s and 1930s where art déco style was predominant. Rising in popularity during the interwar period, the Art Deco style proved to be a very significant movement in terms of its modernity. Art Deco artworks were characterised by immaculate lines, strong geometric shapes and intricate designs. The works of art are indissolubly connected with the artist's life and presented in an environment of day-to-day items - furniture, handicrafts, garments and devices. Tamara Łempicka is known as the Queen of Art Deco. Her paintings achieve dizzying prices at world art auctions. The exhibition entirely devoted to her life entitled "Tamara Łempicka. A Woman in Travel" will be open in Lublin on March 18 (on the 42nd anniversary of the artist's death) and will be available to visitors until August 14, 2022. Tamara Łempicka, better known as Tamara de Łempicka, was born in Warsaw on May 16, 1898. She was a Polish painter who spent her working life in France and the United States. Known as "The Baroness with a Brush", she created the image of a modern and independent woman of success. Łempicka became an icon of her time, and her name became recognizable evenly on the Old Continent and in the countries of both Americas. Already as a young girl, Tamara showed an extraordinary artistic talent, quickly becoming proficient in drawing and watercolors. Her life is inextricably linked with travelling, filled with a mixture of romance, an unbridled desire for happiness, intertwined with a constant fear of abandonment, loneliness, as well as war anxiety and wandering around the world. She died on March 18, 1980 in Mexico. Exhibition: National Museum Lublin Zamek, Lublin, Poland (18.03 - 14.08.2022).
