She spent her youth in Lausanne and with her relatives in St. Petersburg. In 1916 she married the lawyer Tadeusz Lempicki in St. Petersburg. In 1918 she, who called herself Tamara in the meantime, fled together with her husband and her family from the Russian revolution to Paris. On the one hand Lempicka looked for a lucrative activity, but on the other hand she was looking for integration into the society of Paris, for which painting or rather portraiture is supposed to give her the possibility to. Together with her sister Adrienne the first exhibition at the Salon d'Automne took place in autumn 1922. For the sake of better integration into the higher French circles she adds the French 'de' to her name.

    Painting Information

    Tamara de Lempicka’s "Andromeda" (1929) feels like a fever dream in geometric form. The myth of Andromeda - usually portrayed as a damsel in distress, chained and waiting for rescue - is here transformed into a towering icon of sensuality and power. Lempicka paints her in chains, yes, but the chains are secondary to her unabashedly curvaceous, glossy body. That skin looks like it's been polished to a high shine, as if her very flesh is made of marble or chrome, catching the light at every turn.

    Andromeda’s body forms a perfect curve, reminiscent of the smooth arcs in Art Deco architecture. Her face, with its angular planes and exaggerated features - those sharp red lips and perfectly arched eyebrows - has a stoic, almost aloof quality. This is a woman who may be chained, but she’s far from defeated. There’s a quiet arrogance in the way she tilts her head, as if even in captivity, she knows her own worth.

    The composition is, quite literally, hard-edged. Look at the background - sharp, crystalline structures rise up behind her, abstract yet unmistakably architectural. It’s as if she’s been placed inside some cold, faceted prison of steel and stone. Lempicka masterfully contrasts the organic softness of the human form with the hard, angular lines of the background.

    Colors here are kept deliberately limited. Pale flesh tones stand starkly against the muted grays and whites of the environment, with just a flash of crimson on her lips and hair. It’s striking, like a splash of blood against ice. And isn’t that the essence of Lempicka? Cool, yet undeniably erotic.
