Spellbinding and provocative, the last nude is a novel about genius and craft, love and desire, regret and, most of all, hope that can transcend time and circumstance paris, 1927 One day in july, a young american named rafaela fano gets. ?the last nude is a remarkable novel At once a seductive evocation of lost generation paris, a faithful literary rendering of tamara de lempicka's idiosyncratic and groundbreaking art, and a vibrant, intelligent, affecting story in its own right. One day in july, a young american named rafaela fano gets into the car of a coolly dazzling stranger, the art deco painter tamara de lempicka. I really liked the start of this, but the last bit in the pov of tamara was a bit meh
I had no idea that tamara was a real painter, and the fiction part (rafaela) was a sad and bittersweet story about a girl's first love Very well written, and a bit steamy in the beginning. In the heady years before.
