Marcel Janco

Marcel Janco was a Romanian-born Israeli artist and architect. He was one of the founding members of the Dada movement and a prominent figure in the European avant-garde.

Janco studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest and later moved to Paris in 1919, where he became involved with the Dada movement. He co-founded the Dadaist journal "Contimporanul" and was a member of the Dada group in Zurich. In 1922, Janco moved to Israel and settled in Tel Aviv, where he became a leading figure in the city's avant-garde art scene.

Janco's work often combined abstract and figurative elements, and he experimented with a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and collage. He was also a prolific architect and helped to design several important buildings in Israel, including the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv.

In addition to his work as an artist and architect, Janco was also a writer and educator. He founded the Ein Hod Artists' Village in Israel in 1953, and was a professor of art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem from 1962 to 1974.

Janco's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, and he is widely considered one of the most important figures in the development of modern art in Israel.
