Friedensreich Hundertwasser (nee: Friedrich Stowasser)
1928-2000
Austrian architect and painter. Born in Vienna and studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1948. While in Vienna he saw the work of Schiele. He had a mystical approach to art, which he developed self-consciously throughout the rest of his career. This is exemplified, for example, in his decision to change his name from Stowasser to Hundertwasser ('sto' is Czech for 'hundred'). In the late 1940s he came into contact with Art Informel, and he began producing his own abstract works. His childlike fascination with vivid colour and the spiral developed from 1953, and soon thereafter he developed his theory of 'transautomatism', which was based in part on Surrealist automatism, but concentrated on the role of the observer, rather than the artist. He has, since then, become an important international figure, whose works have been exhibited worldwide.
We are selling the four exquisitely printed cards below on special offer, at a special discounted price of £1.95 each (normally £2.95), or £7.50 the four. We believe these particular images are now out of print and, as usual with Hundertwasser art, they are just stunning in their vivid use of colour and metal foil.
UK post free, that is for any number purchased up to one dozen. Overseas, pls add £1.00.
We also carry a range of his large posters, overprinted in holographic foil.
Images for these will be posted shortly.
