A landmark retrospective on the Art Deco painter exploring her intersectional identities Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980), the "Baroness with a Brush," is often cast as one of Art Deco's most celebrated artists, though her work transcends categorization, incorporating elements of Cubism and Neoclassicism in a distinctive, sensuous blend of form and function. Lempicka's paintings, including a self-portrait as the driver of a sleek green Bugatti, often depict dazzling, self-assured women, exuding elegance and transgressive sexuality while combining the modern with the classical. This gorgeous survey presents the full arc of Lempicka's career in the context of her life and her evolving identity, including her Polish and Russian origins, her marriages and other relationships, and her time in France, Italy, and the United States. This book unfolds chronologically through three sections that mark the stages of the artist's life and the evolution of her artistic style, with particular focus on her Jewish heritage, her expression of gender, and her sexuality.

The unique jewelry creations of Art Nouveau, which blurred the boundaries between jewellery and sculpture, the applied and the fine arts, are impressively represented in this book by the work of their major exponents, first and foremost Rene Lalique. As an early exponent of Art Nouveau jewellery making, Rene Lalique was not only the leading Belle Epoch jewellery designer and maker, he was also one of the greatest European jewellers of all time; he united consummate mastery of his craft with the highest aesthetic standards in combining innovative motifs and shapes and rarely-used materials like horn or glass. The greatest French jewelers, among them Fouquet, Gaillard, Vever and Gautrait, were inspired by Lalique to create their own original designs.
