There will be a special screening of The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival at the Sequoia Cinema on Saturday, September 6th, followed by a Q & A with the filmmakers.

​

The visually stunning and sweeping documentary traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful paintings – 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 the preeminent Art Deco painter, 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.

​

Following the screening, there will be a moderated Q&A with Julie Rubio (Director/Writer/Producer) and Blake Wellen (Co-Producer).
