Tatiana de Ronay is an English-French writer, screenwriter, journalist and literary critic, whose works have been translated into many languages of the world and published in millions of copies. The book about the famous artist of Polish origin and Art Deco icon Tamara de Lempicka is the personal view of the writer, who shares with her heroine the unique view of the world of a person belonging to several cultures and first-hand familiar with the artistic environment: “The art of Tamara de Lempicka attracted me with youth. Then I had no idea about her turbulent biography and the scale of her creative ambitions. What kind of person was she? Where did you live? How did you become an outstanding artist? This book is my journey into Tamara’s private world, an attempt to penetrate her secrets and creative plans, to capture the pulsating rhythm of Paris in the twenties. I tell her story, and my daughter Charlotte, in her photographs, resurrects the legend of the brilliant Art Deco queen that intrigues us to this day.”
