It is in his paintings that Janco demonstrates his Dada credentials to best advantage, though many of the early watercolours bear a remarkable similarity with the work of earlier artists, especially Rodin and Degas. As you will see, Janco often liked to produce several versions of the same composition, like the cat in the window.

The larger-scale works shown here, such as The Ladies from Bucharest (1925), The Three Graces (1929), Bathers (1930), and Three Women in Malta (1935), show Janco at the height of his career as a Romanian painter before the move to Tel Aviv.
