Artwork location: Philippines

During the Yom Kippur War, Tumarkin accompanied IDF forces as a photographer and military correspondent. The artist worked by making bold connections between dramatic colors and rigid geometry. Various commentators have noted the complexity of the images in his work. His art often contains images and motifs from European high culture, contrasted with overtly expressive language, weapons, and images of mental and physical vulnerability.

Limited edition color screenprint, 176/200, signed in pencil by the artist lower left, numbered lower right. The print has been matted and placed in a black frame. The image references Capa's 1936 photograph taken during the Spanish Civil War. In 1989, Tumarkin built a sculpture made of iron and painted red, based on Capa's famous photo of a republican with a rifle being killed. The falling soldier is supported by the remains of an artillery gun carriage.

Igael Tumarkin, Homage to Robert Capa
Germany  • 1933

Presentation

Peter Martin Gregor Heinrich Hellberg (later Igael Tumarkin) was born in 1933 in Dresden Germany. He immigrated to then British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel) when he was two.

Tumarkin served in the Israeli army. After completing his military service, he studied sculpture in Ein Hod, a village of artists near Mount Carmel, under Rudi Lehmann.  Tumarkin died at the age of 87 on 12 August 2021.

Among Tumarkin's best known works are the Holocaust and Revival memorial in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv and his sculptures commemorate fallen soldiers in the Negev.

Tumarkin was also an art theoretician and stage designer. In the 1950s, Tumarkin worked in East Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris. Upon his return to Israel in 1961, he became a driving force behind the break from the charismatic monopoly of lyric abstraction there. Tumarkin created assemblages of found objects, generally with violent expressionist undertones and decidedly unlyrical color. His determination to "be different" influenced his younger Israeli colleagues. The furor generated around Tumarkin's works, such as the old pair of trousers stuck to one of his pictures, intensified the mystique surrounding him. One of his controversial works is a pig wearing phylacteries (or tfilin, small boxes containing scriptures).
