IGAEL TUMARKIN

Igael Tumarkin was born in 1933 in Germany.  He immigrated to Israel in 1935. He started his art studies with the artist Rudi Lehman at Ein Hod. In 1955 he decided to return to Germany. He worked there at the Berliner Ensemble with Bertolt Brecht. During the 60s he worked as a sculptor and set designer in Europe, and he travelled around the world. He has been to Africa, the Near and Far East, and to the USA, where he lived for several years. On the late 70s he went back to Israel and has been living and working in Tel Aviv.


Tumarkin has worked with printmaking, producing over three hundred prints. He was inspired by the print studios founded during the years he lived in the USA, where prominent artists such as Jasper Jones and Robert Rauschenberg began to engage in printmaking.


Tumarkin prints of the sixties were considered between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. He was also influenced by the Surrealism and Dada movements, whose impact was expressed in the combination of free brushstrokes and drip paintings together with the use of such materials as newspaper cuttings, photographs and trash.


He participated in various international exhibitions and won several awards. His works are displayed in private collections and in museums both in Israel and abroad.
