And don't forget his architecture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com http://mosaicartsource!.wordpress!.com/cat!.!.!. you gotta go there and see this- it is very different and unique "Hundertwasser's original and unruly artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, environmentalism, philosophy, and design of facades, postage stamps, flags, and clothing (among other areas)!. The common themes in his work utilised bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism, rejecting straight lines!. He remains sui generis, although his architectural work is comparable to Antoni Gaudí in its biomorphic forms and use of tile!. He was inspired by the works of Egon Schiele from an early date, and his style was often compared to that of Gustav Klimt!. He was fascinated with spirals, and called straight lines "the devil's tools"!. He called his theory of art "transautomatism", based on Surrealist automatism, but focusing on the experience of the viewer, rather than the artist!.'" !.!.!.!. "Although Hundertwasser first achieved notoriety for his boldly-coloured paintings, he is more widely renowned today for his revolutionary architectural designs, which incorporate natural features of the landscape, and use of irregular forms in his building design!. Hundertwasserhaus, a low-income apartment block in Vienna, features undulating floors ("an uneven floor is a melody to the feet"), a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows!. He took no payment for the design of Hundertwasserhaus, declaring that it was worth it, to "prevent something ugly from going up in its place"!. "His work has been used for flags, stamps, coins, posters, schools, churches, a public toilet in Kawakawa in his adopted home of New Zealand, and apartment buildings!. His most famous flag is the Koru Flag; he has also designed stamps for the Cape Verde islands and for the United Nations post administration in Geneva on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!. In 1999 he started his last project named Die Grüne Zitadelle von Magdeburg!. Although he never finished this work completely, the building was put up a few years later in Magdeburg, a town in central Germany, and finally opened on October 3, 2005!. An art gallery featuring his work will be established in a council building in Whangarei, New Zealand, and will bring to fruition his 1993 plans for improving the building!.[1] " Buildings Markthalle, Altenrhein, Switzerland District Heating Plant Spittelau, Vienna, Austria Hundertwasser House, Vienna, Austria Hundertwasserhaus Waldspirale, Darmstadt, Germany KunstHausWien, Vienna, Austria Kindergarten Heddernheim, Frankfurt Motorway Restaurant, Bad Fischau-Brunn, Austria Hot Springs Village, Bad Blumau, Styria, Austria Hundertwasserkirche, Baernbach, Styria, Austria Wohnen unterm Regenturm, Plochingen, Germany Quixote Winery, Napa Valley, (USA), 1992-1999 (his only building in the US) Maishima Incineration Plant, Osaka (Japan), 1997-2000 Public toilet, Kawakawa (New Zealand), 1999 Hundertwasser "environmental railway station", Uelzen (Germany), 1999-2001 Die Grüne Zitadelle von Magdeburg, Magdeburg, Germany, 2003-2005 Ronald Mcdonald Kinder Vallei,Valkenburg, HollandWww@QuestionHome@Com |
