An album dedicated to the life and work of Tamara Lempicka, called the queen of art déco. From an early age, she revolved in the company of the world's elite and brimmed at the salons. She was a brilliant scandalist who loved modern objects and enjoyed life to the fullest. Paris turned out to be a place that not only shaped her talent, but also allowed her to achieve dizzying success and gain clients in the form of aristocrats, bankers or movie stars. However, Lempicka did not limit herself to painting portraits of personalities from the wealthy spheres, she also portrayed her daughter Kizette, and the biggest scandalmongers posed for her, resulting in sensual nudes, including the art déco masterpiece Beauty Raphaëla. Forgotten for years, today Lempicka's work is back in favor, and her paintings fetch dizzying prices at auction.
