- Lot Description
Itzchak Tarkay (b. Yugoslav-Hungarian border, immigrated to Israel in 1949, 1935-2012). "The Conversation" - acrylic painting on canvas, 2006. Hand-signed on the lower right. A large-scale painting by Itzchak Tarkay depicting two elegant ladies engaged in conversation at a café. The pair sits at a table, enjoying cups of tea and a plate of fresh fruit. Tarkay has elected to delineate the ladies, their furnishings and refreshments in vibrant colors with lively floral patterns adorning their clothing as well as the teapot and the tablecloth trim. In contrast, all elements in the background - the individual sitting at a distant table as well as the hanging portraits, walls, and flooring - are painted in more subdued shades of grey, black, and blue with occasional pops of white. This approach not only spotlights the main subjects of the composition, but also conveys a sense of depth and expanse. An outstanding painting set in an attractive custom frame. Size of painting: 30" L x 30" W (76.2 cm x 76.2 cm) Size of frame: 42" L x 42" W (106.7 cm x 106.7 cm)
Itzchak Tarkay was a Holocaust survivor who was sent to the Mathausen Concentration Camp with his family when he was only 9 years old. Upon being liberated by the Allied forces, his family then immigrated to Israel, where they lived on a kibbutz for several years. Itzchak studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design as well as the Avni Art Academy under Schwartzman and also benefited from the mentorship of important Israeli artists such as Janko, Mokady, Streichman, and Stematsky - simultaneously falling under the influences of French Impressionism and Post Impressionism, especially the sophisticated color theory of Matisse and a penchant for line commanded by Toulouse Lautrec. According to a press release dated June 4, 2012, the day after Tarkay's unexpected death following emergency heart surgery, "His studies of women, landscapes and other Israeli-inspired imagery were unique in late 20th Century art and although they clearly bore the indelible stamp of his Israeli roots, they also exhibited the influences of Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Braque and Vlaminck."
