Left part painted in Perth, March 7, 1975 - Auckland, April - Opua, April 19, 1975
Eigentlich wolle er nur im Schatten eines Baumes sitzen und die Pflanzen wachsen sehen, hat Hundertwasser einmal gesagt. So hat er sich selbst auch gemalt. Im Labyrinth der Baumringe, paradiesisch ausgestreckt unter dem Baum der Erkenntnis. Conversation With a Tree, wobei Conversation und Conservation dasselbe meinen, die Unterhaltung mit dem Baum bedeutet auch dessen Erhaltung. Hundertwassers meditative, geradezu religiöse Baumanschauung und die Mythologie der Maoris begegnen sich in einem Bild wie Pohutkawa Tree.
