They are “Mother Superior”, “Somewhere in Europe”, and “Wisdom”, At right is a camera study of the artist, At thirteen, Tamara de Lem- |mentation was all well enough picka, in her native, romantic Warsaw, decided to devote her life to art rather than music. From the time she was old enough to sit at a piano she had longed, as most Polish children yearn, to become a great inter- preter of Chopin. But at thir- teen she had gone on a tour of the art museums of Italy with her grandmother, and she re- ‘turned fascinated by the classic beauty of the masters of the Italian renaissance. So she de- termined that her future lay in art. And having some talent for drawing, talent she had never thought enough of to de- velop, she began to cover miles of paper with thousands of sketches. She was sent to school In Switzerland, iater to the Uni- versity of Florence where, oddly enough, she majored in social sciences. But all the time she worked, worked hard at draw- ing, apd as a natural conse- quence she was eventually drawn to Paris. She enrolled in the Paris Academy but gave it up after a year, unable to get the art training she felt she should have. On her own, she started studying the master- pieces of art in the Paris mu- seums and galleries. The meticu- lous workmanship of the old masters fascinated her, partie. ularly the paintings of El Greco, Vermeer, Piero della Francesca, the engravings of Albrecht Durer. She worked hard ana- lyzing the technique of the great painters, and for a time studied with Maurice Denise and Andre Lhote. At 17, with cubism golng out and surrealism coming in as the rage for painting, she turned 10 -the art of Picasso and Dali but soon tired of it. Experi in the studi6, but there seemed little reason for the exhibition of experiments. She had chosen her own artistic path and de- cided to stay on it. As a result she has won acclaim and hon- ors, becoming in less than ten years one of the leading por- trait painters on the continent. Among the personalities who for her are the late Al- onso XIII of Spain, Queen Elizabeth ‘of Greece, Princess Alexandra of Greece, the Grand Duke Gabriel of Russia and Gabriele d’Annunzio, great Ital- ian poet and patriot. In “L’Art ot'les Artists” Magdeleine Payot described Tamara’s talent as a combination of “acute modern- ism, marked classicism and vi- brant romanticism,” and Bour- delle, idolized sculptor of France said of her “if it weren't for the beauty of your colors I would like you to be a sculptor.” When she had finished the portrait of d’Annunzio (who, by the way, Tamara says ‘vas her most ego- tistical model) the poet said: “Your paintings need &> arti- ficial illumination, for a light glows in the pictures them- selves, and shines forth for all to behold and admire.” Ten years ago, Tamara was commissioned to do two por- traits in America. When she came here she was so taken by New York's skyline that she in- cluded towering buildings in many of her canvases during the next few years. Now married to Baron Kuff- ner, the tall, tawny-haired painter lives on the King Vidor estate in Hollywood, numbers among her friends many screen stars and finds filmiand and film ‘people stimulating.
