1916 she married Tadeusz Lempicki, a Russian lawyer. She started her painting
career in 1918 when she fled Russian Revolution to Paris. She quickly gained

Quotation by - Tamara de Lempicka
Tamara on seeing Rafaela in the Paris park, the Bois de
Boulogne.
"I became aware of a woman walking some distance in front of
me. As she walks, everyone coming in the opposite direction stops and looks at
her. They turn their heads as they passes by. I am curious. What is so
extraordinary that they are doing this? I walk very quickly until I pass her,
then I turn around and come back down the path in the opposite direction. Then I
see why everyone stops. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen - huge
balck eyes, beautiful sensuous mouth, beautiful body. I stop her and say to her,
"Madmoiselle I'm a painter and I would like you to come pose for me. Would you
do this? She says, "Yes, why not?" And I say , "Yes, come. My car is here."
Rafaela sat for Tamara de Lempicka for at least four nude portraits over the
next year. |
