About Marcus Jansen
Modern Expressionist painter Marcus Jansen was discovered by Art Historian and former Museum Director of the American Vanguard Exhibitions Europe 1961, MOMA, New York, Jerome A. Donson; who referred to Jansen's work as being "reminiscent of the Ash-Can School” and named him the “innovator of modern expressionism.”
A former soldier, Jansen started selling his paintings in New York on 88 Prince street and Broadway as part of the infamous “Princestreetkings” in lower Manhattan. Over the last twenty years, Jansen transformed his life in to becoming one of the “most important American Painters of his generation,” according to Documenta Kassel curator and Art Historian, Prof Dr Manfred Schneckenburger.
Jansen’s public collections include the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), The New Britain Museum of American Art, The PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art, the Housatonic Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.
The Marcus Jansen Foundation is to foster and to encourage the arts locally, Nationally and Internationally.
