Marcel Janco Art
Israeli, Romanian, 1895-1984
Marcel Janco was a Romanian and Israeli visual artist, architect and art theorist. He was the co-inventor of Dadaism and a leading exponent of Constructivism in Eastern Europe.
Janco expounded a "revolutionary" vision of urban planning. He designed some of the most innovative landmarks of downtown Bucharest. 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. He won the Dizengoff Prize and Israel Prize, and was a founder of Ein Hod, a utopian art colony.to

Chinese Erotic Album Leaf, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Despite its explicit content, this intimate scene conveys a sense of tenderness and romantic love characteristic of Chinese erotic art. Known as “spring palace paintings,” these ink and watercolor illustrations imagined the sensual delights of courtly life.
Taken from an album of erotic paintings, this framed leaf departs from a tradition of depicting lovers in risqué outdoor settings by picturing an amorous coupling in a distinctly Qing-dynasty interior. The uniquely detailed surroundings shed light on the prevailing aesthetic tastes in decor and furniture of 19th-century China. Note the carved wooden headrest, blue and white censer...

Duchándome. Nude watercolor on paper
By Celso José Castro Daza
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, and others are sketches of moments he documents.
Throughout his artistic career, Castro has exalted the figure and genitality of the Latin American man, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestionable patriarchal and phallocentric order. The majority of those portrayed are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos about corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on numerous occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo...

site size 13 X 16 inches. framed to 22.5 X 25 inches. A relatively large size for his works on paper.
Marcel Janco, was a Romanian and Israeli visual artist, architect and art theorist. He was the co-inventor of Dadaism and a leading exponent of Constructivism in Eastern Europe. In the 1910s, he co-edited, with Ion Vinea and Tristan Tzara, the Romanian art magazine Simbolul. Janco was a practitioner of Art Nouveau, Futurism and Expressionism before contributing his painting and stage design to Tzara's literary Dadaism. He parted with Dada in 1919, when he and painter Hans Jean Arp founded a Constructivist circle, Das Neue Leben.
Reunited with Vinea, he founded Contimporanul, the influential tribune of the Romanian avant-garde, advocating a mix of Constructivism, Futurism and Cubism. At Contemporanul, Janco expounded a "revolutionary" vision of urban planning. He designed some of the most innovative landmarks of downtown Bucharest. He worked in many art forms, including illustration, sculpture and oil painting.

Questions About Marcel Janco Art
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025Marcel 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024The 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.
