Tamara de Lempicka

Self Portrait in the Green Bugatti, 1925

Both an artist and a glamour star, Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) was the image of the independent woman at her time. She was the most fashionable portrait painter of her generation and she was surrounded by great men of letters.
Tamara was also part of the parisian bohemian life, she enjoyed a frenetic social life, full of scandals and eccentricities but most of all, she was passionate about her work.

nightmare...

The Nightmare (1781) is probably one of Johann Heinrich Füssli's most famous paintings and also one of the most difficult to interpret.
The painting seems to be full of hidden meanings, symbolisms, mythological and folkloric references, images that could relate to good and evil, possession as well as sexuality and erotic aspects of love lost but most importantly, the painting could be a great source for exploring the subconscious and the world of dreams...
One thing is certain, The Nightmare had great influence on several artists, scholars even scientists through the years.
