Film screening: “The True Story of Tamara De Lempicka & the Art of Survival”
The Pozez JCC, in partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC, is thrilled to present monthly film screenings as part of the JxJ Best of Fest. This month’s film is “The True Story of Tamara De Lempicka & the Art of Survival” (96 min.), directed by Julie Rubio.
This visually stunning and sweeping documentary traces the life and survival of Tamara de Lempicka, a preeminent Art Deco painter. Follow her life from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States in 1940, fleeing the rise of fascism, and her revival in the current art market.
Tamara de Lempicka was known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, but she was so much more. The film follows this remarkable émigrée as she reinvents herself multiple times, looking behind the veneer of the publicity she generated for herself and examining the bisexual Jewish artist who embodied talent, resilience, passion, and the relentless pursuit of artistic freedom. Told through her never-before-seen 8mm home movies, the film reveals her true name, heritage, and identity for the first time and will change art history.
Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the Cinema Arts Box Office or online.
