Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Nature is beautiful.
Art is beautiful.
Both belong together.
You are walking happily i
nto the nature
and b
ringsomething with you that delights both humans and nature. A beautiful stick to walk with
a round knob in many colours and a c
olourful bundle cloth to carry things.
When you spread it out
in the shadow to have a rest
on green moss in the woods in the mountains
on a merrily rushing stream, t
hen the bundlecloth fits the tree
and the walking-stick fits the flowers
and the whole world fits together again.
You can walk with it as far as Japan. T
here the bundlecloth is called Furoshiki.
Hundertwasser, Kaurinui Valley, June 4, 1994
Monocolour print of a mirror image of 887 Tropical Chinese. By leaving things out one can achieve incredible effects.
