Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Bees see many images at the same time. The city, with its many windows, is reflected in the face of the city-man - that is me, apparently. If Picasso can unfold faces, one can also show on the face what the face sees. What one sees and one's surroundings unite with the soul of the person they surround, as it is. That is why one grows ugly and sick when one is exposed to visual pollution. People don't learn that at the architecture schools, which are caught up in false rationality. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 871-872)
