It can be argued that the Art Deco spirit expressed itself more naturally through portraiture than through any other kind of painting.  The quintessential Art Deco portraitist is undoubtedly Tamara de Lempicka.   The Fashionalbe society of the 1920s and 30s is now perceived very largely through her eyes.

This book displays her work  - with a painting on every second page  - and gives background and detailed information about each painting.
