Blue Woman with a Guitar
The painting depicts a woman dressed in an intense blue dress, playing a guitar. The figure is presented in the Art Deco style with characteristic geometric modeling of forms and a flat background. The work is an example of a modern interpretation of the theme of music as art, where music is personified by an elegant, sensual woman. The style of the painting clearly refers to Cubism, but in a softer and more decorative form with vivid color.

Inner Narrative
The painting combines the traditional motif of the allegory of music with the modern aesthetics of the 1920s, showing the figure of the musician as a symbol of art and elegance. It contrasts with earlier cubist depictions of musicians, offering a colorful and more expressive interpretation.
The key to interpreting the work
Pay attention to geometric shapes and flat planes, the intense color palette, and the combination of modernity with the tradition of Renaissance portraiture. The painting should be understood as a tribute to art and music combined with the characteristic style of Tamara de Lempicka.See other works by this artist
