Marcel Janco, Colorful Street Scene

Marcel Janco (Romanian/Israeli, 1895-1984)

Ink and watercolor on paper depicting a lively urban street scene composed of stylized buildings and simplified human figures. The composition features bold, expressive linework combined with vibrant washes of color, creating a dynamic and slightly abstracted architectural environment. Figures are rendered in a minimal, almost schematic manner, emphasizing movement and rhythm within the scene. Signed lower right.

Marcel Janco was a founding member of the Dada movement and later became known for his contributions to modernist painting and architecture. His work often combines expressive abstraction with figurative elements, reflecting a playful yet structured approach to composition.
