Fürst HWG 44-53"The work of the artist is just very difficult because it cannot be done with force, with diligence and with intelligence. I mean, with force and diligence and intelligence you can do everything else in life, but with these things the result in art is totally blocked." (Friedensreich Hundertwasser, cit. n.: Fürst, Andrea Christa: Hundertwasser Werkverzeichnis vol. II, p. 22.)Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist who worked primarily as a painter, but also in the fields of architecture and environmental protection. From childhood on, his favourite motifs were landscapes and houses in the surroundings of Vienna. Throughout his life he was an opponent of the straight line and of any form of standardization. In the 1950s Hundertwasser lived in Paris. He engaged with the prevailing avant garde as an active participant in the discourse between geometric and expressive abstraction, Informel and burgeoning Nouveau Réalisme. Among his most important personal contacts were Michel Tapié and Yves Klein, as well as the critics Pierre Restany and Julien Alvard. During his life he produced a large number of drawings, watercolours, lithographs and Japanese style woodcuts.
