Marcel Janco was a Romanian-born Israeli artist and architect who cofounded the Dada movement in Zurich during World War I. Working across painting, sculpture, collage, and printmaking, he developed a distinctive visual language combining geometric abstraction with expressionist energy. After relocating to Palestine in 1941, Janco shifted toward architectural practice and community building, designing the artist village of Ein Hod. His early Dada works, characterized by bold color and fragmented forms, remain central to twentieth-century modernism.
