Art Deco’s Bad Girl, Still Ahead of Her Time

Before Madonna strapped on her funnel-breasted bustier and called it feminism, there was the painter Tamara de Lempicka. Her portraits of sculptural women and icy, querying aristocrats between the World Wars have become synonymous with the fierceness and decadence of Paris in the 1920s, when she found her first fame. Inheriting the last of Cubism, Lempicka developed a distinctive geometric realism that, despite its spot-welded austerity on the canvas, breathed jolts of humanity into her subjects, like the Tin Man’s achievement of a heart.
