This Hundterwasser guy is absolutely incredible. I can’t believe that nobody ever turned me onto him in art school. I would have flipped out, cause its so awesome, and in a way shares a lot of things with the art I do, and was doing back then, with this really complex patterns and colors building shapes into kinds of little cities…
I’m gathering good quotes about/by him. From a page called Friedensreich Hundertwasser:
- Hundertwasser believes that within each of us is a compilation of memories, sensations, images, dreams and wishes, which he calls an ‘Individualfilm.’ In his opinion the role of art is to bring this material to a conscious level.
Man, it seems like there’s barely anything about him in English online. I don’t get why. His work is really cool. Luckily, you CAN buy super expensive posters of some of his paintings.
I really like this one: Haeuser haengen an d. Unterseite. This is neat too. Hell, I like all of them. I haven’t come across an “artist” artist that I’ve liked in a really long time.
