Biography
The inspiration for Tarkay's works clearly lies with French Impressionism and the "Ecole de Paris", his drawing with the "Facon de Faire" of Toulouse- Lautrec. The works have a rich and sensuous pallet executed in a tapestry like effect. A centered woman image linked with environmental indoor objects and forms create an atmosphere emphasizing the versatile gesture of the woman. Thus, an intimacy is being created and the subject matter enhanced. His landscape painting with a tree in the center have the same passionate and striking look. The drawing style that reveals a debt to Toulouse Lautrec, ridded of unwanted details, meets in synthesis with a color mode of handling of the Fauvist, Matisse. Tarkay uses a painterly application of color through silk-screen. Color is overlayed thickly with brush-like strokes creating rich transparency and depth. Sometimes, a rapid drawing style accelerates the work. Tarkay likes to negate image and form. The dress of the woman meets with a non realistic form creating a pleasant dialectic between the Figurative and the Abstract that is everlasting. The vitality and flexibility of ambiance as exemplified in Tarkay's work places him as one of the most important neoclassic artists in Europe today. Born: 1935 Yugoslavia Training: Avni Institute of Fine Art, Tel Aviv and Bezadel Academy, Jerusalem

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
