Illustrator Research - Tamara de Lempicka

Tamara de Lempicka was born in 1898 in Warsaw, Poland to a wealthy family. Desperate to become independent from her family, in 1916 she married a well-known ladies' man by tempting him with a large dowry. In 1917 her husband was arrested during the Russian Revolution, but she searched the prisons and got him out. Due to her husband's laziness, she began painting, inspired by Art Deco and Picasso. In 1925 she participated in her first major show and was an instant success. During the 20s she met with many artists including Picasso and had affairs with both men and women. Her husband eventually got tired of it and divorced her in 1928. Her busy career and socialite status left no time for her daughter who was pissed at her mother for not being there. Tamara lost all her money in the Stock Market Crash of 1929 but cemented his status when she married a Baron in 1933. In 1962 she retired after her new style was not taken well by critics. After he husband's death in 1962, she lived with her daughter and her family for awhile and complained about the good ol' days until she died in her sleep in 1980.
