About the Item
A limited edition serigraph titled Sisters by Izchak Tarkay (Israel 1935 -2012) , a celebrated artist known for his vibrant, impressionistic style. The piece is rich in color and texture, capturing an intimate moment among two women, each elegantly poised and engaged in conversation. Tarkay's use of bold, overlapping blocks of color—especially blues, reds, and oranges—creates a dynamic, almost dreamlike atmosphere that contrasts with the figures' calm demeanor. Each woman appears adorned in flowing attire, adding a timeless sophistication to the composition. The serigraph is signed and numbered 234/750 . The serigraph is elegantly presented within a black, gold-trimmed frame that adds depth, drawing the viewer's gaze into the central scene. This artwork embodies Tarkay's distinctive style and is a testament to his skill in capturing the elegance and serenity of feminine companionship.

About the artist:
Itzchak Tarkay (1935-2012) was a prominent Israeli artist known for his vibrant, impressionistic works that capture the elegance and introspective nature of women in serene settings. Born in Subotica, Yugoslavia (now Serbia), Tarkay's early life was marked by hardship. During World War II, his family was interned in the Mathausen Concentration Camp, where they remained until the war's end. In 1949, his family immigrated to Israel, where Tarkay grew up in a kibbutz. He later studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and the Avni Institute of Art in Tel Aviv, honing his skills and developing his unique style.
Tarkay’s art is influenced by the Post-Impressionists and Modernists, especially Matisse and Toulouse-Lautrec, though his work possesses its own distinct style. His subjects often portray graceful, contemplative women in vibrant settings, characterized by rich colors and bold outlines that blend realism with a touch of fantasy. Tarkay was a master of serigraphy, a technique in which multiple layers of color are meticulously applied to create depth and dimension, lending his pieces a layered, almost dreamlike quality.
Beyond painting, Tarkay’s talents extended to watercolor, acrylics, and drawing, and he also experimented with various forms of printmaking. His work has been exhibited widely in galleries around the world and remains highly sought after in art circles. Tarkay passed away in 2012, but his legacy endures through his evocative portrayals of feminine beauty and inner life.

Itzchak Tarkay
Itzchak Tarkay (1935 – June 3, 2012) was an Israeli artist. Tarkay was born in 1935 in Subotica, on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border. In 1944, Tarkay and his family were sent to the Mauthausen, a Nazi concentration camp, until Allied liberation freed them a year later. In 1949, his family emigrated to Israel, living in a Kibbutz for several years. Tarkay attended the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design from 1951, and graduated from the Avni Institue of Art and Design in 1956. Tarkay's art is influenced by French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, particularly Matise and Toulouse-Lautrec. His work was exhibited at the International Art Expo in New York in 1986 and 1987. He has been the subject of three books, published by Dr. Israel Perry. Perry Art Gallery And Park West Gallery, his dealer. His art is focussed on almost dream images of elegant women in classical scenes which draw you into an imaginary world.
Few realize that Tarkay's early works were done by him personally to completion, but his later works were drawn by him and then colored in by helping artists on staff. This increased production, but that additional inventory reduced value of his total body of work. Today, the most important works by Tarkay are those that were done by his hand without assistance from others. Few dealers recognize this and many of Tarkay's pieces are not sorted out to distinguish his works from the works done by helper assistants to Tarkay. The value of "original" Tarkay works should increase in value, as Tarkay collectors begin to recognize the limited number of original works he made as opposed to the greater production which came later in Tarkay's career Tarkay's wife is Bruria Tarkay. They have two sons, Adi and Itay Tarkay. On June 3, 2012, Tarkay died. Tarkay was 77.

Masuo Ikeda (Japanese, 1934 - 1997) was born in 1934. Masuo Ikeda is well known a Japanese painter, printmaker, illustrator, sculptor, ceramist, novelist, and film director. He started winning prize after prize in the 1960s: the Governor of Tokyo's Prize (1962), the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art Prize (1964). In 1961 he had established himself as a printmaker by winning the Grand Prize for Printmaking at the Tokyo International Biennale of Art, but it was in foreign parts that he achieved his greatest triumphs: in 1961 the Prix d'Excellence at the Young Artists' International Biennale in Paris; in 1965 the Grand Prix at the International Print-making Biennale in Ljubljana; in 1966, the First Prize at the International Engraving Biennale in Cracow, and first prizes at the Biennales of Vienna and Venice, where he was only the second Japanese to win in this category, after Munakata Shiko in 1956. He was the first Japanese to have a one-man show at the New York Museum of Modern Art (1965). He was always on the move and spent two years in New York (1965-66), then settled for a year in Berlin (1967). Ikeda was producing prints in his studio in New York from 1969, he returned to Japan in 1980 and was based there from then on, and extended his brilliant talent beyond printmaking. In 1977, he won the 77th Akutagawa Prize (the most prestigious literary award in Japan) for his novel, Offering in the Aegean, and directed the film adaptation of the same title in 1979. His vigorous artistic activity even extended to the production of ceramic works from around 1983 onward. The Ikeda Masuo...
