Itzchak Tarkay is one of the most popular and loved artists in the world.
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, and Post-Impressionism, particularly the color sophistication of Matisse and the drawing style of Toulouse-Lautrec, while summing up the characteristics of his model subject.
Tarkay was a painter primarily with acrylic but also enjoyed watercolor.
He is a master graphic artist who created numerous serigraphs with use of vibrant colors exploring many stories with the subject of women surrounded by outdoor nature.
His work is sought by many collectors and featured at auction.
