Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Zwolle is in Holland. While visting a friend there I painted this picture. It is of a town on an island, with people, houses and smokestacks. It looks like a space capsule which can also move about in space on its own, with a meadow around it. A very vague dream. It can also be something completely different. I always paint in such a way that it can be the opposite of what I say it is. (from the broschure: Kunstwerk, die Hundertwasser Ausgabe der Brockhaus Enzyklopädie, n. p., 1989, p. 18)
