The Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka was born in Warsaw on May 16, 1898. Her actual name was Maria Gorski, she was the daughter of a bourgeois family. She marrie
s the solicitior Tadeusz Lempicki in 1916 and lives with him in St. Petersburg. In 1918 they flee the October Revolution to Paris.
During her adolescence she is taught painting. In Paris she attends the Académie de la Grande Chaumière where she takes classes with Maurice Denis at first and later with André Lhote, who influences her the most. Tamara de Lempicka begins to work as an artist and also exhibits her works. At the same time the Paris art scene offers her the opportunity to get in contact with Paris's upper class. Up until 1925 she pretends to be a male artist by using the male form of her last name to sign her paintings.
