The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival

Opened Jul 17, 2025

Opens Jul 17, 2025

Julie Rubio

96 min

A visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned bisexual painter through her powerful paintings – from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States in 1940, fleeing the rise of fascism, and her revival in the current art market. Tamara de Lempicka was the preeminent Art Deco painter, known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, but she was so much more.
