Lempicka Portraits

Lempicka had a style all of her own. She did not copy other artists directly. Her artistic goals were to create a new style using light and bright colours with the emphasis on elegance in her models. She said “I was the first woman who did clear painting – and that was the success of my painting. Among a hundred paintings, you could recognise mine. The galleries began to put me in the best rooms, always in the centre, because my paintings attracted people. It was neat, it was finished.
