Hundertwasser's comment on the work

To me the most honest form of Tachism was total self-renunciation: if a painter climbs up a ladder with a bucket of paint and shoots himself up there, letting the paint fall "automatically" onto the canvas waiting on the floor, that is the most sublime act of Tachistic self-renunciation. The canvas is like a jumping sheet, the paint sticks to it, the dead initiator falls through it. Painting blind- blindfolded - or drawing left-handed - when you're right-handed - are not so totally honest, and when you let snails, monkeys, donkey tails, elephant trunks do the painting, it is somebody else doing the work, albeit Tachistically correctly. With this picture I wanted to show very lucidly and immediately and precisely how a Tachistically fluidoid-spiraloid painting done in a state of complete awareness looks as if it were from a different viewpoint, a different time and world, when it is painted with the traditional method. I had great respect for Tachism, but as an outsider. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 405)
