Italian school (XX) - Autoritratto sulla Bugatti verde – da Tamara de Lempicka,

An "Autoritratto sulla Bugatti verde – da Tamara de Lempicka" (Self-portrait on the Green Bugatti, after Tamara de Lempicka) associates itself with the iconic imagery popularized by the Polish-born Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. De Lempicka often depicted herself or female subjects in sleek, luxurious automobiles, notably a green Bugatti, combining themes of modernity, power, and feminine confidence. This kind of self-portrait merges personal identity with symbols of speed, wealth, and modern machine age aesthetics. The Italian school’s adoption of this theme reflects the broader 20th-century fascination with industrial design and glamorous lifestyles, mediated through stylized, precise brushwork and a palette balancing vivid colors with polished surfaces.
