The charm and eccentricity of character, communication skills 'of its figurative language have made the artist Tamara de Lempicka more' known and loved for the period De'co. Gioia Mori writes: "Back in the seventies to be that the global phenomenon that was already 'in the twenties and thirties, and tears to all fellow travelers dell'E'cole de Paris the title of" Queen of modernity,' " where "modernity '" is the invention of communications and marketing formulas that only a pop artist like Warhol - a great admirer of Lempicka - will know how' to apply with equal efficiency after several decades.

A" innate taste contrasts, which indicates Magdeleine Dayot in an article in 1935 as a strong point of the art Lempicka: "This curious me'lange of extreme modernism and classical purity draws and surprises, and causes, perhaps the first to conquer all, a kind of struggle of the brain, where these trends so 'different struggle against each other, until the moment when the eyes will have 'grabbed the great harmony that reigns in these conflicts.
