Tamara de Lempicka was born in Warsaw, which she often romanticized.
Tamara Rosalia Gurwik-Górska, later known as Tamara de Lempicka, was born on May 16, 1898, in Warsaw, then under Russian control. This date marks the birth of an artist who would later become an iconic figure within the Art Deco movement, celebrated for her distinctive, modern style. Born into a period of significant geopolitical upheaval, de Lempicka's origins played a crucial role in her adaptability and artistic vision, though she often obscured her roots to fit the image she cultivated in the Western art world.
