PREMIER PRE HOLIDAY AUCTION
Lot 176:
Description
Signed Itzchak Tarkay, Two Serigraphs framed as a Diptych
Itzchak Tarkay (Israeli, 1935-2012). Two Serigraphs ‘Woman in Purple & Pink’ & ‘Woman in Purple & Blue’. Serigraphs framed as a diptych. Two works, each signed ‘Tarkay’ in pencil lower right, and numbered in pencil, 244/300, lower left.
As well as being a painter and watercolorist, Tarkay was a master graphic artist and his rich tapestry of form and color is achieved primarily through the use of the serigraph. In his serigraphs, many colors are laid over one another and used to create texture and transparency.
The inspiration for his work lies with french impressionism, and post-Iimpressionism, particularly the color sophistication of Matisse and the drawing style of Toulouse-Lautrec.
Sight – 17" high x 12" wide. Frame – 25 3/4" high x 34" wide.
Condition: Not examined out of frame, though presents as very good. Recent framing.
