The paintings and architecture by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser are nothing less than revolutionary with respect to nature and individual creativity.
Commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Hundertwasser’s death, this attractive book compiles his statements, excerpts from his manifestos, his paintings, examples of his utopian architecture, and his ideas for the future..
What seemed like a utopia to his contemporaries is now urgently virulent and surprisingly current.
In many conversations, lectures, letters, and manifestos, he formulated his notions―from recycling, the greening of roofs and facades, and the democratization of living space―in order to lend them weight.
Even beyond his artwork, though, the Austrian environmentalist fought for new ideas and ideals.
With their strong, colorful formal vocabulary, Hundertwasser’s works allow nature its space.
His work is not about silent conformity, but about life itself: each individual, in society and in the environment.
