Description
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.
