Friedensreich Hundertwasser: "The third skin", refined reproduction

Hundertwasser used color instinctively (according to the renowned art historian Wieland Schmied) and, precisely through this, achieved maximum impact with almost uncanny certainty. The deep black lacquered solid wood frame and the black passe-partout with its white beveled edge make his colors shine all the more intensely. In Friedensreich Hundertwasser, our era has found its most formidable challenger of totalitarian thinking, whether concerning nuclear energy, genetic engineering, environmental protection, or the design of our living spaces. Hundertwasser lived entirely in accordance with his vision and in opposition to the contradictions of post-industrial society. Hundertwasser's significance lies in his art, which brings forth beauty: a message of natural harmony, peace, and joy.
