Itzchak Tarkay

Itzchak Tarkay
  • Itzchak Tarkay was born in 1935 in Subotica on the Yugoslav - Hungarian border. When he was only nine years old, Tarkay was sent to Mathausen concentration camp by the Nazis. In 1949 he and his family immigrated to Israel and by 1951 he had received a scholarship to the Bezalel Art Academy.

       Tarkay has achieved recognition as a leading representative of a new generation of figurative artists. The inspiration for his work clearly lies with French Impressionism, particularly the paintings of Matisse and the drawing style of Toulouse-Lautrec. While summing up the characteristics of his model subject without relying on the precise copying of natural forms, or the patient assembling of exact detail, Tarkay's rich tapestry of form and color is achieved through the use of silk-screen painting. Many colors are laid over one another and used to create texture and transparency.

      After exhibiting both in Israel and abroad, he received recognition at the International Art Expo in New York in 1986 and 1987. Some of his most popular paintings are: "Countryside Ladies Coffee", "Ladies Seaside Tea", "Ladies Seascape Cafe" and "Ladies of Luxury"

Size: Approx. 56"x31"x9"
Signed: Hand Signed by Tarkay (not a printed signature of any kind)
Item Number: IT013OR
Asking Price: $15,800 USDOr Best Offer

   This is absolutely one of the rarest pieces you will ever find created by Tarkay. The sculpture we have is called Dominique and measures a very large 56"x31"x9". This is an oil painting on Aluminum and Wood. The base is wood and so is the chair. This creation was exclusively create by Tarkay in NYC and less than 10 were ever created. Please let me repeat this, less than 10 exist in the entire world of "Dominique". The edition was supposed to be close to 100 pieces but because it was so labor intensive for Tarkay he stopped after only a few. Put this up against a wall in any art gallery or home and you have a piece you can guarantee your fellow art collectors will not have! This sculpture has been entirely hand painted by Tarkay in oils and is also hand signed in the lower left hand corner - please forgive the warehouse in the background but this piece has been in storage for a long time!! This is from our personal collection, and is absolutely the rarest piece we have ever sold. Art dealers and collector can name their price in reselling this as you will have absolutely no competition with this piece!
