A stimulating, limited-edition serigraph from esteemed Israeli artist ITZCHAK TARKAY (1935-2012), inspired by his early-aughts oil painting, Seated Woman with a Basket of Fruit. The figure of a young female is set against a Post-Impressionist backdrop of vibrant color and geometric pattern, the fluid lines and rich palette pointing to the influence of Matisse and Toulouse-Lautrec. While often celebrated for expressive use of color and his mastery of moods, Tarkay’s primary focus was compositional clarity. He took to heart Picasso’s principle that “every painting should rhyme”; witness the harmony of forms in this piece and how the shade of each ripe fruit is echoed in the sitter’s costume. Signed and numbered in plate: 192/450.


ITZCHAK TARKAY was an influential Israeli artist primarily known for his watercolor and acrylic portraits of sophisticated-looking women in modish clothing. He was born in 1935 in Subotica, Serbia, about 10 km below the Hungarian border, in what was then Yugoslavia. When he was nine years old, his family—after being liberated from a WWII Nazi concentration camp in Mauthausen, Austria—resettled in Israel. Tarkay went on to study at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and later at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv.

An accomplished painter, serigrapher, and watercolorist, Tarkay mentored younger Israeli artists throughout his career—including Mark Kanovich (b. 1970), Yuval Wolfson (b. 1966), and David Najar (b. 1962), all of whom worked with him in his studio. He was a great friend of Yaacov Agam (b. 1928), the master Israeli sculptor and experimental artist, widely celebrated for his contributions to optical and kinetic art. They collaborated on two original paintings.

Tarkay died unexpectedly in 2012 in Detroit, Mich., following emergency heart surgery.

Warm and cuddly!
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
I love this double sided blanket!! It is sooo soft and warm. I got the creme color. I don’t understand the reviewers that say that it is hard to fold or that it slips against itself. Mine has two edges/seams that are sewn well and it’s simple to fold after use. I just look for the tag which is on one seam and fold from there. Great buy too!!

Great blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King
Liteweight, cooling, and no stray strands. We've had it for over a month and no issues. Also very soft. Perfect summer blanket. Update: Still no picking issues. I appreciate that the fabric is light and does does not cause our washing machine to become unbalanced. So it still looks good and is great for hot sleepers.

Wonderful, non-snaggable blanket
Color: White, Size: Queen
NO cat snags at all! After reading the reviews, I had reservations about getting this because of some comments about cats possibly snagging the threads on this. I'm happy to report that my two rambunctious cats have not harmed a single thread after sleeping on it with me in over a month. It's the perfect weight, and very attractive. The quality is vastly superior to what you would expect for the price!

Great lightweight summer blanket
Color: White, Size: Queen
Love this waffle blanket. Soft, cool when used alone, warm used with another blanket. Good size. Purchased queen size and it's very generously sized. Only con is white is off white, but it works. I would buy this blanket again!

Nice, lightweight blanket for cool rooms. Probably a bit light for a COLD room.
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is a nice soft lightweight blanket. The only problem I have is they don't come in a "standard" mattress size, so you order something that may (does in my case) touch the floor. I'd have said they drag the floor, but that only happens when you move the bed around the room with the blanket in place. An unhandy way to clean the floor, so I don't recommend it.
