Marcel Janco War & Peace Lithograph 10047 cm Signed Limited Edition
Marcel Janco - LA PAIX ET LA GUERRE (War & Peace). His father was a merchant and his mother was an amateur musician. As a child, he studied painting with the Jewish painter Lucif Isser. In 1915, he studied architecture at the Polytechnic School in Zurich, Switzerland. After the outbreak of World War I, Janco, together with his brother, participated in the establishment of the Dada movement in the city.
In 1921, he emigrated to Paris, France, where his works took advantage of avant-garde techniques such as collage and assemblage. This period is best known for his portrayal of ballads painted in a cubist and futuristic style, as well as masks created for the performances of the Dada movement in the Cabaret Walter.
In 1941, he immigrated to Israel. During this period, alongside his work as an architect in the Tel Aviv municipality, he continued his work as a painter and even created backdrops for various plays. In 1948, he was one of the founders of the New Horizons movement. He also founded the Ein Hod artist village and the art school at Oranim College in 1953. In Israel, Janco's work was supplemented by a national Zionist approach, in which he created depictions of the country's landscapes, descriptions of immigrants, and more. In particular, he painted historical and socially significant motifs using classic and expressive, geometric painting styles. In 1983, he established the Janco-Dada Museum in Ein Hod, which presents works by Janco to this day. We try to describe all items as accurately as possible, therefore, All sales are considered final.
