THE TRUE STORY OF TAMARA DE LEMPICKA & THE ART OF SURVIVAL is a visually stunning, sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful works -- from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her escape to the United States in 1940 fleeing fascism, to her remarkable revival in today's global art market.
The film follows this extraordinary refugee as she reinvents herself again and again, peeling back the carefully constructed publicity she cultivated to reveal the bisexual, Jewish artist whose life was defined by resilience, passion, and an unyielding pursuit of artistic freedom.
Told through never-before-seen 8mm home movies and groundbreaking newly uncovered birth and baptism certificates, the documentary reveals her true name, heritage, and identity for the first time -- reshaping art history.
Her popularity continues to soar: Madonna and Barbra Streisand are among her most notable collectors, and one of her paintings recently sold at auction for over $21.1 million -- affirming her place as one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
