If there were some sort of global prize for the most inspiring artist of our time, Itzchak Tarkay would be the prime candidate. This exuberant painter of joy was born in 1935 in Subotica on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border, a dark place and time when Europe was on the brink of war and Jewish families like his own were about to be targeted by the rising Nazi party. In 1944, when he was only 9 years old, Tarkay and his whole family were captured and sent to the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. It is miraculous that they all survived. When the Allied Forces liberated the camp a year later at the end of World War II, his family returned home. Having escaped almost certain death, young Itzchak found, in art, a way to express his love for life. Today he is revered not just as a survivor, but as an artist who has redeemed tragedy with the power of the paint brush.

Savoring the sunny colors and sensual scenes of Tarkay’s widely popular paintings, you would never guess the traumatic prologue. Elegant ladies reclining languorously in opulent drawing rooms, or fashionable ladies passing a lazy afternoon in a sophisticated café, the world of Tarkay’s paintings is a realm of pleasure. On the canvas, all is luxury, calm and voluptuousness. See less
