The exquisite composition of the album, with carefully selected paintings, drawings and photographs, acquaint readers with artist’s brilliant oeuvre and introduce them into the intriguing world of “the queen of art déco.” The emotional texts, written specially for the album by Marisa de Lempicka, describe at first the artist’s biography, then sentimentally bring back Marisa de Lempicka’s memories of a vacation spent with her famous great-grandmother.
