Vox Hunt: My Favorite Artist

Tamara de Lempicka. I'm not sufficiently educated about art to know the proper names for all of these paintings (plus my book about her is currently packed), but I have a series of her prints framed above my bed. There is something about the way her paintings demonstrate simplicity and yet a rawness of emotion which speaks to me. For some reason I think of her art as being very "Spanish", but de Lempicka was actually Polish. I recommend reading up about her - she lived an incredible life, particularly for a woman of her time.
