Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) was a central figure in the Parisian art scene of the 1920s and 30s, often called the Goddess of the Automobile Age. Her art captured the evolving dynamics of femininity and masculinity, influenced by her fascination with beautiful women, sleek automobiles, and the modern city. De Lempicka's work reflected a contemporary self-confidence and a style that embraced speed, Bauhaus design, and dandyism. Her iconic "Self-Portrait, or Tamara in a Green Bugatti" exemplifies her cool elegance and the artist's persona. Whether categorized as Art Deco, Post-Cubist, or Neoclassical, her art resonated with a cosmopolitan audience seeking to see themselves reflected in her work.
