Speaking Engagements
Starts May 21, 2025 at 11:00am Ends May 21, 2025 at 12:00pm Born Tamara Rosa Hurwitz in Poland in an era of fierce anti-Semitism, she learned at an early age to conceal her Jewish ancestry. In 1916, she married a Polish aristocrat, Tadeusz Lempicki, and the two settled briefly in St. Petersburg before fleeing to Paris in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Faced with the need to earn money, Lempicka determined to become an artist: she first presented her paintings at the Salon d’Automne in 1922 under the name “Monsieur Łempitzky,” and then more forthrightly as “Tamara de Lempicka” as she established an internationally acclaimed career.
