$5 Tix: Tamara de Lempicka “Queen of Art Deco” Event w/ de Young Curator (SF)

Chan National Queer Arts Center/ de Young museum

With works that exuded cool elegance and transgressive sensuality, Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco. Her paintings captured the glamor and vitality of postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity. Although she moved among the most influential circles in 1920s Paris, 1940s Hollywood and beyond, her identity as a queer woman has not been widely discussed. On the occasion of the first major museum retrospective of Lempicka in the United States at San Francisco’s de Young museum, Curator Furio Rinaldi offers an in-depth, multimedia presentation about the artist’s distinctive style and gender-defying life journey, as well has her iconic cultural influence among drag queens, pop stars, and celebrity collectors.
