Marcel Janco

Marcel Janco was an artist and architect of Romanian origin. His artistic career began in Zurich, where he co-founded the Dada movement between 1915 and 1921. He subsequently settled in Paris in 1921, and then in Bucharest in 1923.
In 1941, he emigrated to Palestine, where he continued to develop his artistic practice.

Janco’s contributions to modern art remain marked by his involvement in avant-garde movements and his exploration of forms and materials.
