The Great Path (1955): a monumental painting measuring 1.62m x 1.60m dominated by spirals, a recurring symbol in his work.
Hundertwasser's architecture: He designed several famous buildings, including the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna (1986), characterized by colorful facades, curved lines, and green roofs.
He also created the Koru, a flag for New Zealand in 1983.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser is an Austrian artist primarily associated with the expressionist art movement and environmental art. He also left a significant mark on organic architecture.
Influenced by artists such as Gustav Klimt and the surrealists, Hundertwasser managed to combine his artistic work with his ecological concerns. His works reflect a fusion of bright and vibrant colors and organic forms, often dominated by the spiral, which he considers as the symbol of nature.
Among his contemporaries, we find the artist René Brô, with whom he travels, and personalities from the Viennese art scene of the post-war period.
Hundertwasser's works are characterized by bright colors, wavy shapes, and a rejection of straight lines.
Nature plays a central role in his artistic philosophy and in his architecture, where he promotes green roofs and sustainability.
He made the spiral his personal symbol, representing to him the connection between birth and death.
His architecture and art have often focused on human well-being, symbiosis with nature, and the fight against the cold rationalism of modern cities.
