Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Viewed from above more of the head is seen, and the face dissolves into stripes. The shoes are plain to see, walking on tumbled-over window walls. The red wedge with drops seems to have something to do with the pending revolution of the Prague Spring. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 513)
