Influenced by Cubism, Lempicka became the leading representative of the Art Deco style across two continents,​ ​a favourite artist of many Hollywood stars, referred to as 'the baroness with a brush'. She was the most fashionable portrait painter of her generation among the haute bourgeoisie and aristocracy, painting duchesses and grand dukes and socialites. Through her network of friends, she was also able to display her paintings in the most elite salons of the era. American singer-songwriter and actress Madonna is an admirer and collector of Lempicka's work and has lent paintings to events and museums. Madonna has also featured Lempicka's work in her music videos "Open Your Heart" (1987), "Express Yourself" (1989), "Vogue" (1990) and "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" (1998). She also used paintings by Lempicka on the sets of her 1987 Who's That Girl and 1990 Blond Ambition world tours. Other notable Lempicka collectors include actor Jack Nicholson and singer-actress Barbra Streisand. ** Artist Stewart aka Czar Catstick: Working as The Emperor's New Clothes Collective including Czar Catstick, Jack Smith, Hertz Van Wental and Baxter Cane.
