Description
Tarkay Painting Measurement: ~39” x 22” Condition: Good This Tarkay artwork is an HC (Hors Commerce Proof) numbered piece (HC 34/50). HC is a French term meaning “do not sell or out of trade”. HC editions were small and very limited. They were used and available only by the artist (and few brokers employed by the artist) to show to galleries and dealers. HC proofs are considered very rare and therefore are the most valuable of prints, including limited edition lithographs. This art is hand-signed by Tarkay and was gifted to the father (physician/surgeon) of the Intervendue Auction consignor/owner. Bid with confidence and Congratulations to the winning bidder. This is a special collector’s piece of fine art. Itzchak Tarkay(1935 – 2012) was an Israeli painter known for his Post-Impressionist portraits done in watercolor and acrylic. Influenced by the work of bothHenri MatisseandHenri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Tarkay’s expressive, use of color lent a dream-like quality to his serigraphs, prints, and paintings. Born in 1935 in Subotica, Serbia, Tarkay and family settled in Israel after Allied forces freed them from a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. The artist went on to study at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and later the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv. Later in life, Tarkay mentored younger Israeli artists, includingYaacov AgamandYuval Wolfson. He died unexpectedly on June 3, 2012 while visiting the director of Park West Gallery in Detroit, MI.
