This artist has been so inspirational to Madonna all of these years. You can tell in all of these pieces.

MADONNA HAS HER OWN PERSONAL “LEMPICKA MUSEUM”

Jack Nicholson and Madonna are among the prominent figures known to collect Lempicka’s paintings. Madonna has previously lent work from her collection to international exhibitions and Artnet reported the singer as saying, “I have a ton of her paintings in New York. I have a Lempicka museum.”

References to Lempicka have recurred symbolically in Madonna’s work throughout her career, featuring in the music videos for “Open Your Heart” (1987), “Express Yourself” (1989), “Vogue” (1990) and “Drowned World/Substitute for Love” (1998). Her paintings also appeared in the movie set of Who’s That Girl (1987) and the Blond Ambition World Tour (1990). 

It’s not difficult to understand what this self-confessed “Material Girl” sees in Tamara de Lempicka, “the first woman artist to be a glamour star”. Lempicka’s soaring ambition, her unapologetic promiscuity, and her powerful depiction of formidable women make her a thoroughly modern figure.
