Description

Marcel Janco (Romanian/Israeli, 1895-1984) Mixed media (Pen, ink, and watercolor on paper). Signed Marcel Janco in the lower right; additionally initialed M.J. An original mid-century mixed-media work by Dada co-founder Marcel Janco. The composition features a lyrical coastal scene with a poetic, seated figure in the foreground and a boat resting on the water, masterfully framed within a vibrant, arched architectural motif. Showcasing Janco’s celebrated expressionistic line work and a warm, Mediterranean color palette, this piece beautifully captures the coastal atmosphere that defined much of his later Israeli period. Housed in a minimalist black gallery frame with an expansive white mat board. Some tears to paper, evidence of tape in spots. 

Measuring 9.5 inches H x 7 W, sight, frame measures 18.5 x 14 inches.

Provenance: From the Janco Family Collection, by descent.
