Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Nature is beautiful.
Art is beautiful.
Both belong together.
Man is walking happily
into the nature
and takes something with him
which enjoys man and nature.
A beautiful stick to walk with
a round knob in many colours and a
colourful bundlecloth 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.
Then 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
there the bundlecloth is called Furoshki.
Kaurinui Valley, June 4, 1994
Monocolour print of a mirror image of 887 Tropical Chinese. By leaving things out one can achieve incredible effects.
