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 Tumarkins works, such as the old pair of trousers stuck to one of his pictures, intensified the mystique surrounding him.
