Hundertwasser's comment on the work
This picture, like many others, was also laid out such that it can be viewed after turning it around by 180 degrees, like 236 Austrian Impressions, 330 Floating City, 743 Tree Man Vase, 892 Positive Soul-trees - Negative Man-houses or 905 Red Rivers Streets of Blood - Red Streets Rivers of Blood. If lines the breadth of a paintbrush are painted with tempera so that they overlap, a very strong effect is the result with pulverised brick, but also with cadmium red and cobalt violet. Every genuine pigment has its own unique character, unless it is made from plastics. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 670-671)
