Itzchak Tarkay 1935 – 2012 was an Israeli painter and graphic artist.[He used trade dress to protect his style from being emulated via Romm Art Creations Ltd. v. Simcha International, Inc.,a case that Tarkay won.
Itzchak Tarkay was born in Subotica, on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border. At the age of 9, Tarkay and his family were sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp by the Nazis until Allied liberation freed them a year later.
In 1949, his family immigrated to Israel and was sent to the transit camp for new arrivals at Be'er Ya'akov. They lived in a kibbutz for several years. In 1951 Tarkay received a scholarship to the Avni Institute of Art and Design,[ where he studied under the artist Schwartzman and was mentored by important Israeli artists of the time including Moshe Mokady, Marcel Janco, Yehezkel Streichman and Avigdor Stematsky.
Tarkay died in 2012 at the age of 77 in Detroit, where he visited as a guest of Park West Gallery.
