Born
on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border in the city of Subotica in 1935,
Itzchak Tarkay was an artist with a remarkable history. In 1944, Tarkay
was deported to the Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen-Gusen in Austria.
Luckily, the Allied liberation of the camps in 1945 came in time for
Tarkay to emerge alive, and in 1949 his family emigrated to Israel.
In 1951, Tarkay’s formidable artistic skill earned him a scholarship to
the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem, but he was forced to leave the
school after one year due to his family’s financial difficulties and his
obligation to serve in the Israeli army. After his service, Tarkay
moved to Tel Aviv and enrolled in the Avni Institute of Art, graduating
in 1956. From that time, he gathered quite a following through his
numerous exhibitions in Israel and abroad, notably the International Art
Expo in New York City (1986, 1987). His paintings can be found in
public, private, and corporate collections around the world.
