Tamara de Lempicka, also known as Tamara Łempicka (pronounced Uempitsca), born Tamara Rosalia Gurwik-Górska (Warsaw, May 16, 1898, Poland – Cuernavaca, Mexico, March 18, 1980), was a Polish painter who achieved fame in Europe, especially in France, and in the United States with his art deco style portraits and nudes.

She was born into an environment of luxury and abundance and was educated in a feminine environment by her grandmother, her mother and her aunt. During his childhood he traveled, took art lessons and learned languages and good manners. In 1918, she married Tadeusz Łempicki, with whom she moved to Paris, and there she continued her painting studies.

From his first works, Lempicka sought to represent the human figure . In this regard, Germain Bazin commented: "A painting of Tamara is generally represented as a bas-relief of a single figure of powerful volumes that fills the entire field of the canvas, to the point where, often, the top of the head is cut off by the upper edge" .

During the 1920s, Lempicka attended classes with Maurice Denis at the Académie Ranson and was later a student of the French artist André Lhote at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière.

Influenced by Cubism , Lempicka is considered one of the greatest representatives of the Art Deco style on two continents. She was the favorite artist of many Hollywood stars and was called "the Baroness with a paintbrush."

She was the most recognized portraitist of her generation among the highest social spheres. Through his network of friends, he was able to exhibit his paintings in the most relevant salons of the time.
