Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Political symbols are worked in, such as the swastika, hammer and sickle, the three arrows of the social democrats, the crutch cross, Soviet star and the rising-sun symbol used by the Japanese in the war. That bothered an American collector so much that he would not buy the painting. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 239)
