Nechita’s “Boxed Sunshine” is a prime example of the artist’s firm grasp of Cubism and bright expressiveness contained within a single image.

Itzchack Tarkay was an Israeli artist and concentration camp survivor. Influencing a new generation of figurative artists, Tarkay gets his cues from French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. His graceful, figurative themes are sometimes described as “Café Society”. Although his work is highly reminiscent of Matisse, Tarkay uses his own unique style to create wistful images of elegant women that draw the viewer into a dream world. Tarkay’s “Waiting 2 1991” depicts a placid woman composed of elegant lines gracefully sitting in a chair and waiting. This beautiful work deftly captures the ennui of waiting and makes a fitting present for the elegant woman in your life who is waiting for Christmas.
