Told with striking visuals and rich historical detail, Tamara de Lempicka & the Art of Survival explores the remarkable life of one of the 20th century’s most daring and glamorous artists. From her meteoric rise in 1920s Paris to her escape from fascist Europe in 1940 and her later revival in today’s art world, the film follows de Lempicka’s unyielding pursuit of artistic freedom. Known for her bold Art Deco portraits and provocative lifestyle, Tamara was far more than the scandal and allure that surrounded her—she was a bisexual Jewish émigrée who reinvented herself time and again. Drawing from newly discovered archival footage and personal documents that reveal her true name and background for the first time, this documentary reframes her legacy and uncovers the woman behind the icon—fierce, fearless, and ahead of her time.
