Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Painter, architect,
ecological activist
and visionary
1928-2000
The work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser represents an important contribution to art history’s post war modernism. As a highly engaged contributor to the international avant-garde in Paris in the 1950s, he developed his own visual language. His ideas of living a life in accordance with the laws of nature and the individual creativity, of the greening of cities, of a waste-free society and the restoration of natural cycles were prescient, reflecting the urgency of today’s most pressing global concerns.
