Tamara de Lempicka was Wildly Dedicated to Her Craft (and Her Diamond Bracelets)

Morning!

I got the idea to write about Tamara de Lempicka from one of our subscribers, Alexandra Harper, founder of Women of Culture NYC.  Thanks, Alex!

Tamara de Lempicka is one of the most recognized Art Deco artists of the 20s and 30s. Her paintings sell for millions of dollars, she’s got her own Broadway show, and her work is in the first few frames of Madonna’s music video, Vogue. 

Every time she sold two paintings, Tamara bought herself a diamond bracelet. She promised herself that she would sell enough to stack the bracelets from her wrist to her elbow. The glamor of it all.
