Born in Bucharest in 1895, Janco devoted himself to painting from an early age. In 1915 he studied architecture at the Polytechnical School in Zurich where he established contacts with artists and writers including Jean Arp and Tristan Tzara. In the face of World War I, these artists found inspiration in tribal art and naive children's art, and together founded the Dada movement in 1916. By 1920, the founders moved to Paris, where the movement evolved into Surrealism; Janco returned to Romaina by 1922,where he founded the first Romanian modernist movement Contemporanul in 1923. From 1924-30 he exhibited with Contemporanul, along with Arp, Brancusi, Klee, and Schwitters. In 1931, the year of this work, Janco participated in the first group showing of abstract art in Paris at the Galerie Renaissance.
