Summary: Passion for this book
Comment: I am not an art fiend, nor am I completely unable to understand the value of art in our culture. I find the art of De Lempicka abolutly facinating. This book only added to my facination. If you would like to understand her and her art, read this book. Along with the Atlas Shrugged. They complement each other beautifully.

Summary: A most fascinating read
Comment: Having recently become familiar with the work of Tamara de Lempicka, I was delighted to discover that there was a book about her. Even more so when the authoress just happened to be her only child, Kizette. Who better to know a person than a child? The book is fascinating and delightful, and the insight I gained into this amazingly talented woman was worth every cent. The book includes my 2 favourite paintings - so that was an added bonus. Kizette tends to paint a "motherly" picture of Tamara that I found rather disturbing though. I found myself wondering if Tamara was really like that. I imagine she was, talent and devotion like hers must surely have excluded those closest to her - just by virtue of the time she spent on each piece of work, and then of course the times she lived in. The book itself is well-written, and while it is informative - you do not feel that you are bogged down by superfluous detail. The illustrations and photographs included are wonderful and of her finest I am sure. I too felt there could have been more to Tamara's life towards the end, but the book seems to be very vague and maybe even rushed? I would love to know more about Tamara's later years... All in all I was very satisfied with this purchase - and if you are eager to learn more about the life and times of Tamara, this book is a must have for your coffee-table that you will delight in over and over again!
