Hundertwasser's comment on the work
People always do everything wrong to nature and themselves. Man seems to have one function on earth: to destroy himself. The nature of the plant world is always constructive. It is always the teacher, in the creative as well as the ecological sense.
(from: Hundertwasser Architecture, Cologne, 1997, p. 36)
Simply put: what man makes, is evil, what nature makes, is good. All this becomes in this painting a fable, a fairytale composition the way it always is with me. The trees have a silvery shine; something like vase of flowers can be seen; and when the painting is stood on its head, the vase turns into a kind of rain. I show the coexistence of human houses and "human-trees". (translated from the broschure: Kunstwerk, Die Hundertwasser Ausgabe der Brockhaus Enzyklopädie, n. p., 1989, p. 21)
