 | | Tamara De Lempicka(Updated) A Life of Deco and Decadence by Laura Claridge, Gilles Néret Paperback, 448 Pages, Published 2001 by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc ISBN-13: 978-0-7475-5224-6, ISBN: 0-7475-5224-X "With her couture clothes and film-star good looks (she was frequently mistaken for Greta Garbo), Tamara de Lempicka seemed too glamorous to be a serious painter. Even in the years of her greatest success, 1925 to 1935, the luscious colours and highly wrought finishes of her portraits--a suspect genre in any case to high modernists--linked Lempicka more closely to the Italian Renaissance painters she revered than to her Cubist contempora ..." |

What tale would Rockwell have claimed to be telling in The Art Critic ? Norman Rockwell told stories. That was his job as an illustrator, and over the decades he stressed that, ..." |
