summary
Co-inventor of Dadaism and a leading exponent of Constructivism in Eastern Europe, Bucharest-born Marcel Janco is associated with several expressionist art movements of the early 20th century. One of the leading Romanian Jewish intellectuals of his generation, who was targeted by anti-Semitic persecution both before and during World War II, Janco emigrated to the Land of Israel in 1941 where he founded a utopian art colony in the village of Ein Hod.
