Friedensreich Hundertwasser: "Wearing Hats", High-quality reproduction

Hundertwasser dedicated himself to architecture from the 1950s onwards. On the occasion of the inauguration of the Hundertwasser House in Vienna (1986), he said: "We are experiencing another turning point, where old and rigid values ​​in architecture and urban planning are increasingly being questioned. The straight lines and uniformity of Bauhaus architecture are coming to an end, because they are insensitive, sterile, cold, heartless, aggressive, and unemotional. The era of absolute rationalism is drawing to a close. The new values ​​are an increased quality of life, not a standard of living. A longing for romance, individuality, creativity—especially creativity—and a life in harmony with nature."
