In Paris during the 1920s Lempicka was part of the bohemian life: she knew Picasso, Jean Cocteau and André Gide. Famous for her libido, she was bisexual, and her affairs with both men and women were carried out in ways that were scandalous at the time. She also became involved with Suzy Solidor, a night club singer whom she later painted. Her husband eventually tired of their arrangement and abandoned her in 1927. They were divorced in 1931.
