Abuse, 1940

by Marcel Janco

In the work depicted here, the artist presenting in a grotesque and expressive manner the cruelty the Jews suffered with the rise of the fascist regime in Romania. Janco himself felt this violence: his brother-in-law was murdered, his friends alienated themselves from him, and, like all other Jewish artists, he was prevented from exhibiting his art.
