The True Story of Tamara De Lempicka and the Art of Survival is a visually stunning documentary that traces the life 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. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her decadent lifestyle, but she was much more.

Narrated by Anjelica Huston, this doc is essential viewing for anyone who cares about art.
