Kizette de Lempicka-Foxhall

Marie-Christine "Kizette" de Lempicka-Foxhall was the only child of Tamara de Lempicka and her first husband Tadeusz Łempicki, a lawyer in St. Petersburg, Russia. Her parents fled the Bolshevik Revolution for Paris, where Kizette was born. Her mother became an acclaimed Art Deco painter who won her first major award, first prize at the 1927 Exposition Internationale des Beaux Arts in Bordeaux, France, for her portrait of Kizette on the Balcony. Kizette went to boarding school in France and England and often stayed with her maternal grandmother Malwina; she rarely saw her mother. However, she was the subject of many of her mother's portraits, including Kizette in Pink (1926) Lizette Sleeping (1934), and Portrait of Baroness Kizette (1954–55). Kizette married Harold Foxhall, chief geologist for the Dow Chemical Company, with whom she had two daughters. After her mother died in 1980, she began to collect her photos, letters, and papers, and started making notes for a book. With Charles Phillips, she wrote Passion by Design: The Art and Times of Tamara de Lempicka (1986).
