Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I painted nudes only very rarely, as drawing people hampers my creativity. This is not true of Klimt and Schiele. I had started a female nude and didn't know how I was to finish painting the legs, feet, hands, breasts and head. Moreover, it came into conflict with my world of colours and forms. So Valie Export, whose first name was still Waltraude at the time, helped me out and was my model for an hour. The oddly contorted sausages in the upper and lower row are by Hans Neuffer and me. Sometimes I let painter friends paint something in my pictures; that gives me unexpected new impulses and contrasts.
