Catalogue Note
Painted in 1952 Vase with Flowers is a typical example of the elegant floral still-lives Tamara de Lempicka painted in the post war period.
Tamara de Lempicka, nee Maria Gorska, was an artist of Russian origin born in Poland. Her family was very wealthy and Tamara grew up accustomed to a lavish, cosmopolitan lifestyle, which found expression in her iconic, Art Deco inspired depictions of the glamorous and wealthy in the 1920s. In 1914 she moved to Saint Petersburg where she met her first husband, Tadeusz Lempicka. They were forced to move to France following the Russian revolution, and it was here that Tamara took up painting in earnest and became a pupil of Andre Lhote and Maurice Denis. A talented painter who combined the influences of cubism, neoclassicism and Art Deco, Lempicka created elegant, stylish and sensual portraits which were stylistically instantly recognisable and commercially successful.
Her husband divorced her following a string of affairs, and Lempicka subsequently moved to America in 1930, where she met her second husband, Baron Raoul Kufner, and settled in New York, continuing the enchanted life of a successful artist and wealthy jetsetter. It was during the war years that Lempicka withdrew from public life and her artistic direction changed, shifting from portraits and depictions of the human form to still-life painting. More intimate in feel than her figurative compositions, these works nevertheless have all the hallmarks of Lempickas’ painterly virtuosity and innate elegance.
Indeed, in Vase with Flowers the graceful flower composition, the white vase and the crisp sheet of paper bearing the artist’s name convey both purity and a nostalgic feeling, and despite the change in subject matter, her painterly style is immediately recognizable. Lempicka herself wrote of her work: “Among a hundred paintings, you could recognize mine. My goal was: Do not copy. Create a new style, colours light and bright, return to elegance in my models.” True to this idiom, to this day, Tamara de Lempicka remains one of the twentieth century’s most popular and iconoclastic artists.
