A destitute young American named Rafaela Fano gets into the car of a dazzling stranger, the Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. Struggling to halt a downward slide toward prostitution, Rafaela agrees to model for the artist. The two become lovers, and Rafaela inspires Tamara’s most accomplished and prized works of art, including \u003ci\u003eBeautiful Rafaela\u003c\/i\u003e, “one of the most important nudes of the twentieth century” (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The relationship between the artist and her muse lasted less than a year, yet in 1980, just before Tamara died, she was working on a copy of \u003ci\u003eBeautiful Rafaela\u003c\/i\u003e. Author Ellis Avery imagines their affair from Rafaela’s point of view, and the final day of Tamara’s life from the painter’s point of view. A window into Jazz Age Paris as the forces of history close in, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Nude\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of genius and craft, art and money, friendship and desire.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"9781611744552","offer_id":40952915591345,"sku":"9781611744552","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/workman-feed-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/the-last-nude","provider":"zzz_Workman Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
