About the Item

Itzchak Tarkay Afternoon Luncheon Serigraph 1998 Limited Edition Numbered (90/350) and hand Signed This elegant and highly collectible serigraph by Itzchak Tarkay ( Israel 1935 -2012) , titled Afternoon Luncheon, captures the artist’s signature celebration of femininity, leisure, and refined social moments. The composition unfolds across a vibrant café setting, where stylized female figures are gathered in quiet conversation and contemplation. Rendered in Tarkay’s distinctive figurative style, the women are depicted with graceful forms and expressive posture, their elongated silhouettes draped in richly patterned garments. The scene balances intimacy and sophistication, evoking a timeless atmosphere of relaxed elegance. A bold and harmonious color palette—featuring saturated reds, luminous yellows, deep blues, and soft pastels—creates both depth and rhythm throughout the composition. Tarkay’s masterful use of line and flat planes of color reflects influences of modernism and Art Deco, while maintaining a uniquely contemporary sensibility. This work is a limited edition serigraph, numbered 90/350, and hand-signed by the artist, enhancing its value and desirability among collectors. The piece is professionally framed, further elevating its presentation and making it ready for display. Dimensions : Framed : 29"H 47" W 1" D Unframed : 24.75" H 43" W Unframed & Unmated ( Print ) : 19.5" H 38" W About the artist : Itzchak Tarkay (1935–2012) was a celebrated Israeli artist known for his elegant, stylized depictions of women in moments of leisure and quiet introspection. His work blends influences from Art Deco, Impressionism, and modern figurative traditions, resulting in a distinctive visual language defined by bold color, graceful line, and refined composition. Born in Subotica (then Yugoslavia, now Serbia), Tarkay survived the hardships of World War II before immigrating to Israel in 1949. He later studied at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv, where he developed his signature style under the influence of modern European masters. Tarkay rose to international prominence for his serene interior and café scenes, often portraying sophisticated women in contemplative or social settings. His compositions are recognized for their harmonious color palettes, flattened perspectives, and decorative elegance—evoking both intimacy and timeless glamour. Working across painting, watercolor, and serigraphy, Tarkay’s work has been widely exhibited and collected around the world. His limited edition serigraphs, in particular, have become highly sought after for their craftsmanship and accessibility to collectors. Today, Itzchak Tarkay’s work remains a staple in modern figurative art collections, admired for its enduring sense of beauty, tranquility, and refined femininity.
