When she died, artist Tamara de Lempicka’s ashes were spread atop a volcano in Mexico. These were her wishes for what to do with her remains, which were as dramatic as the life she lead.

“Tamara de Lempicka” at the de Young Museum in San Francisco is the first major US retrospective of the Polish-born artist, who lived and worked in Russia, France, the United States, and Mexico in some of the most tumultuous decades of the 20th century. Synthesizing artistic influences she encountered along the way to create her own signature style, Lempicka’s art is immediately recognizable: part Cubist, part Futurist, part Art Deco, all of it glamorous and larger than life. Even her small canvases radiate monumentality. Her work and life alike seem made for the silver screen, and both have inspired film and stage productions. Peripatetic in her lifetime, Hollywood suits as Lempicka’s true home.
