A collectible artist and painter who is realistic, abstract, figurative, decorative and known for his colorful female subjects!
I am an art collector / enthusiast who loves colorful paintings and adores the works of Itzchak Tarkay. A friend who is more "learned" at art collecting actually turned me on to Tarkay. Tarkay has achieved strong recognition as a leading representative of a new generation of figurative artists. The inspirations for his work reflect influences from Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism, and color influences of Matisse. His drawing style has a distinct feel of Toulouse-Lautrec.
Quick, all you art enthusiasts ...

Contemplation by Itzchak Tarkay
Contemplation by Itzchak Tarkay
This Tarkay original acrylic is literally the only painting that he has ever done with a black background. It retails for $44,000. It's currently being offered by Fine Art Enterprises at a reduced price.
Tavern at Dusk -- Acrylic on Board 1986
An early work of Tarkay
Tavern at Dusk, an acrylic on board with pastel, shows a somewhat loose, even a bit gross style in its full-figured depictions of tavern-frequenters out for a beer at sundown.
To fully appreciate the colorful and beautifully decorative style of Tarkay's work today, you need to take a look at his early works--such as this one.
At the Bar by Itzchak Tarkay
At the Bar by Itzchak Tarkay
An original acrylic, this is one of the only pieces where Tarkay painted a blonde! The depiction of people standing at a bar is very rare for Tarkay. It retails for $40,000. It's currently being offered by Fine Art Enterprises at a reduced price.
Two by Two -- Seriolithograph in Color on Paper
by Itzchak Tarkay
Several years ago, I acquired Two by Two from our friend, THE art collector ... he's a bit more seriously into art collecting than I am.
Two by Two, seriolithograph in color on paper. Signed in the plate. From the edition of 9500. It is from 2000 and measures 16-1/4 inches x 20-1/2 inches.
It came with a certificate of authenticity from and a registration number Park West Gallery. This is hanging in our vestibule.
Marie and Susie -- Art Print
by Itzchak Tarkay
Of the art that I collect, I do have a few art prints such as this one.
Marie and Susie is rather large at 36 inches x 26 inches, so I haven't framed it as yet as that frame might cost $500. In addition, I've run out of wall space for any more art ... unless we add an extension to the house or move into a bigger home!
This particular Tarkay art print is quite popular.
Beware of imitators!
Be sure to get a Certificate of Authenticity as there are "imitators" of Tarkay's artwork.
