Tamara de Lempicka #[nn]

A glamorous woman in a richly patterned robe and pearl necklace holds a cigarette in the foreground, while an intimate, golden-lit embrace unfolds behind her — the cover immediately evokes the smoky sophistication of 1920s Paris that defined Tamara de Lempicka's world. Writers Virginie Greiner and artist Daphné Collignon bring this art-deco biography to life through Glénat, with linework that pays unmistakable homage to Lempicka's own bold, sensual painting style. A beautifully crafted graphic portrait of one of the 20th century's most magnetic artistic figures, this 2017 album is a feast for fans of biographical comics and Art Deco aesthetics alike.
