After the outbreak of World War I, Janco and his brothers were among the founders of the Dada school and took part in the activities of Cabaret Voltaire. In 1921, he emigrated to Paris and helped to found Contimporanul and other avant-garde art groups. His works at the time incorporated new techniques such as collage and assemblage. He is particularly known for his Cubist and Futurist depictions of parties and the masks he created for Dada performances at Cabaret Voltaire. In 1941, Janco immigrated to the Land of Israel. While working as an architect for the Tel Aviv Municipality, he continued to paint and designed backdrops for various plays. In 1948, he was one of the founders of the New Horizons group. In 1953, he established the Ein Hod art colony and an art school affiliated with the Oranim Teachers Seminary. In Israel, Janco's art was influenced by his nationalist Zionist outlook, inspiring him to paint local landscapes and depictions of immigrants. He is particularly known for his social-historical paintings, among them Immigrant Ship (1946), Wounded Soldier at Night (1948) and Maccabees (1952), which combine classical motifs with an expressive and geometric style.
