Alison de Lima Greene, Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Join Alison de Lima Greene, Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, for an introduction to the remarkable arc of Tamara de Lempicka’s career — from her ascent to the pinnacle of café society in 1920s and 1930s Paris to her American odyssey after fleeing Europe in 1939. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Tamara de Lempicka, this talk offers historical context and curatorial insight into the artist’s unique blend of glamour, modernity and reinvention during a century of seismic cultural change.
