Calla Lillies 1941

Tamara de Lempicka's 1941 oil painting "Calla Lillies" depicts a stylized bouquet of white calla lilies in a vase, the stark white flowers contrasted against rich greens and blues. Lempicka, known for her Art Deco style, employs sharp lines and geometric shapes to create a sense of formality and elegance. The flowers are arranged with a deliberate sense of balance, highlighting the artist's fascination with precision and order. The painting, while not entirely representational, captures the beauty of the flowers in a modern, almost graphic style that was characteristic of Lempicka's work.
