Experience an immersive cinematic journey with "Tamara de Lempicka & the Art of Survival." A visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful paintings, from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris to her move to the United States, fleeing fascism in 1940, and her revival in the current art market. The film follows this remarkable refugee as she reinvents herself multiple times, looking behind the veneer of the publicity that she generated for herself, and examining the bisexual Jewish artist who embodied talent, resilience, passion, and the relentless pursuit of artistic freedom. Told through her family & never-before-seen 8mm home movies, groundbreaking newly-discovered documents prove her true identity and will change art history.

Her popularity soars today; Madonna and Barbra Streisand are her most notable collectors, and one of her paintings recently sold at auction for over $21.1 million, the third-highest amount ever paid for a modern female artist.

Throughout the film, we delve deeper into insights from our comprehensive interview with Broadway star Eden Espinosa, who is starring in "Lempicka: The Musical," set to premiere on Broadway in March 2024. Additionally, 2024 will see a groundbreaking retrospective at San Francisco's Legion of Honor Museum.

Furthermore, the film offers a captivating glimpse into Barbra Streisand's world, who generously shared high-resolution images of her remarkable collection of Lempicka's iconic paintings. Anjelica Huston lends her voice to share tales of wearing Tamara’s jewelry—gifts from Jack Nicholson—on the night she won her Oscar. She also discusses her role in starring in the play “Tamara.” The film spotlights Madonna, the foremost collector of Lempicka's work, who has incorporated Tamara’s imagery into iconic music videos such as "Vogue," "Open Your Heart," and "Express Yourself." Madonna recently showcased this imagery in her 2023-2024 world concert, "The Celebration Tour,” and much more.

Tamara broke down barriers and opened doors for female artists. She led them into a world of creative choice. She put her struggle, turmoil, and truth onto the canvas. There, you can see her humanity staring at you, exposing her secrets for all of us to witness. She was a brilliant, brave artist, and the hero of her own story. Armed with her intellect and talent, she earned the right to claim her proper place in art history.
