Tamara de Lempicka Interpretation Pieces


Tamara de Lempicka Research

Tamara de Lempicka was a Polish art deco painter and the first female artist to be a glamour star. Lempicka was born on May 16th 1898 in Warsaw, in partitioned Poland. She moved to Russia in 1912 where she lived until the Bolsheviks arrested her husband in 1917 during the Russian Revolution. She secured his release and they fled to Paris, where she enrolled at the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere and studied privately.
She is highly sought after as a portrait artist and is thought to be the most famous painter of the art deco period.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Research

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English artists which formed an association in 1848 to recapture the beauty and simplicity of the medieval world. Their painting style and art movement reacted to the sterility of English art, along with materialism resulting from England's industrialisation.
They identified Raphael with the scientific interests of Renaissance art, which they felt had lead to modern technological development. They aimed to study nature, to sympathise with what is direct, serious and heartfelt in earlier art, and to infuse their works with literary symbolism, bright colours and attention to detail.
The founders of the Brotherhoodwere the painters Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), William Holman Hunt (1827-1910), John Everett Millais (1829-1896), James Collinson (1825-1881), Frederic George Stephens (1828-1907), sculptor Thomas Woolner (1825-1892), and writer William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919).
Their initial efforts brought them much condemnation, but in 1851 they gained the support of influential art critic John Ruskin.
