Tamara De Lempicka

Polonesa Born in Varsóvia Art Déco, Cubismo Wikipedia in 30/32 languages

Tamara De Lempicka

Nascida Maria Teresa Górska em Varsóvia, Polônia, a mulher que viria a ser conhecida pelo mundo como Tamara De Lempicka viveu uma vida que espelhava as bordas nítidas e polidas de suas próprias telas. Essa existência protegida foi abalada pelos tremores da Revolução Russa, forçando-a a ela e ao seu marido, Tadeusz Łempicki, a fugir em direção à promessa de Paris.

Dora Carrington

Dora de Houghton Carrington, conhecida por todos simplesmente como Carrington, foi uma pintora e artista decorativa britânica cuja vida se desenrolou sob o pano de fundo vibrante e, muitas vezes, tumultuado do Grupo Bloomsbury. Sua educação na Bedford High School proporcionou uma base sólida, com sucessos em competições nacionais de arte prenunciando sua aceitação na prestigiada Slade School of Art, em Londres, em 1910.

Stanisław Szukalski

Polish-American Born in Warta Bent Classicism

Stanisław Szukalski

In 1907, he immigrated with his mother and stepfather to Chicago, a city poised to become both a crucible and a catalyst for his unique aesthetic development. While briefly enrolled at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Szukalski largely remained self-taught, forging an intensely personal style that defied easy categorization. Following a return to Poland in the 1930s—a journey tragically interrupted by the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent loss of much of his early work—he eventually settled in California, where he lived a largely reclusive life.

Yvonne Jean Haffen

Francesa Born in 9.º arrondissement de Paris Art Déco Wikipedia in 1/32 languages

Yvonne Jean Haffen

Yvonne Jean Haffen (1895 – 1993) emergiu do vibrante meio artístico de Paris, mas o seu coração pertencia à Bretanha — especificamente a Dinan e as suas paisagens circundantes. Crucialmente, Haffen absorveu as correntes estilísticas do Art Déco, que dominaram o design europeu durante as décadas de 1920 e 30. Artistas como Maurice Sterne e Jean Dubois serviram como referências importantes para o seu estilo.
