Marcel Janco/Iancu/Ianco (May 24, 1895 - April 21, 1984) was a Romanian and Israeli artist, painter and architect.
Janco was born to a Jewish family in Bucharest.
A friend and compatriot of Tristan Tzara, he was among the founders of the Dadaist movement at Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich. In 1922 he returned to Romania and worked as an architect and painter until 1941 when, in face of growing anti-semitism during World War II (see Romania during World War II), he emigrated to Palestine.
In 1953 Janco established the now famous Ein Hod artist village. In the last years of his life he helped create a Dadaist museum that houses an impressive collection of Dadaist art. The museum is named for him, Janco Dada Museum.
He died in Tel Aviv April 21, 1984 at the age of 89.
