He worked in many art forms, including illustration, sculpture and oil painting. Janco was one of the leading Romanian Jewish intellectuals of his generation. Targeted by antisemitic persecution before and during World War II, he emigrated to the British Mandate for Palestine in 1941.

Questions About Marcel Janco Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    The answer to whether Marcel Duchamp was a Surrealist artist is complicated. During his lifetime, the French artist resisted being labeled as a member of any art movement. Despite this, he is often associated with both the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. A provocative artist, Duchamp challenged conventional thought about artistic creation through subversive actions such as dubbing a urinal "art" and naming it Fountain. His influence was crucial to the development of Surrealism, Dada and Pop art. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Marcel Duchamp art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025
    Marcel Duchamp's famous sculpture of Dadaism is widely considered to be Fountain. Its name was a playful subversion that shocked viewers when it was exhibited in 1917. The reason for the surprise? Duchamp's so-called “fountain” was actually a urinal. Although the original piece was either lost or destroyed, several museums have authorized reproductions of the work in their collections. Among them are the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, California; the Tate Modern in London, UK, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden. Explore an assortment of Marcel Duchamp art on 1stDibs.
