Friedenschriech Hundertwasser
40
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
was an Austrian painter, printmaker, and architect.
Friedenschriech Hundertwasser believed that nature was the most important part of where we live. So he promoted living in harmony with nature by leading the way as an environment activist and architect.
Hundertwasser was an opponent of the “straight line” which lead to some wild paintings and biomorphic buildings!
Hundertwasser died at sea in the year 2000.
As an architect, Hundertwasser used these organic, irregular forms to evoke natural landscapes.
The Hundertwasserhaus embodies these ideas. It has undulating floors and a roof covered with earth and grass. Large trees grow from inside the rooms.
Born Jewish in Vienna in 1928, the young artist narrowly survived the horrors of World War II.
After the war, he traveled to Italy, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand, Tunisia, Uganda and the United States.
He carried a small set of paints with him at all times so that he could sketch anything that caught his eye.

Hundertwasser claimed a “Window Right.” A person “must be allowed to take a long brush and paint everything outside within arm’s reach. So that it will be visible from afar to everyone in the street that someone lives there who is different from the imprisoned, enslaved, standardized man who lives next door.”
He also wrote that planting trees should be a duty. “If man walks in nature’s midst, then he is nature’s guest and must learn to behave as a well-brought-up guest.”
