Hundertwasser's comment on the work

This is the third time I have treated the subject "Nostalgic Roofs". It is something dreamy-painterly which cannot be explained in words. After all, that's what painting is far. (see also 837) (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 866)
