Hundertwasser's comment on the work

The rebellion of the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama's flight to India moved me very much. I wrote him, sending him money in an envelope, and got a reply, too. I painted a number of pictures with lots of yellow in them. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 377)
