Catalogue information
When Tamara meets the beautiful Rafaela Paris, the 1920s. Close to Gide or Cocteau, the painter Tamara de Lempicka is one of the capital's most prominent artists. A sulphurous, libertarian and openly bisexual artist, she spends her evenings in the famous cabarets of the Roaring Twenties, in search of inspiration, buyers, models or one-night stands. These nights of excess earned her frequent arguments with her husband Tadeusz, who reproached her for not taking care of their daughter Kizette. But Tamara intends to do as she wishes, especially since it is the money from her paintings that sustains her family. So are free women! After the remark Before the Tiger's Hour, a graphic novel on André Malraux's wife, Virginie Greiner and Daphné Collignon paint a new portrait of a modern, strong and independent woman: Tamara de Lempicka. An elegant and sensual evocation of the life of this figurehead of Art Deco.
