Film Screening: “The Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival”

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Brilliant by Design: The Handbags of Judith Leiber, enjoy a screening of the visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter Tamara de Lempika. The film follows her 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 a pre-eminent Art Deco painter, known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. Though marginalized and noted for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, she was so much more. Director: Julie Rubio Run Time: 96 min. Release Year: 2024 Starring: Anne Paddy, Eden Espinosa, Julie Rubio, Marisa De Lempicka, Victoria De Lempicka Presented in partnership with the Levine Jewish Community Center as part of its Jewish Film Festival.
