Description
reconstruction of one of the "balls paintings" that were created by Janco in the Dada period.
Background history: Janco identified the figures as: Ball at the piano, Tzara with hands forward, on the right hand-side of Tzara – Huelsenbeck, Emmy Hennings dancing at the back, another unrecognized person, and on the wall – one of Janco's masks.
Jean Arp in his article in Dadaland, NY, 1948, identified the figures a bit differently.
