The dream of a world of peace
"A world full of color," says Friedensreich Hundertwasser, "is synonymous with paradise." With his demonstrations and actions, his manifestos for nature, for more human-oriented
architecture and for the improvement of the quality of life and living conditions, Friedensreich Hundertwasser is one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century. He became a symbolic
figure, not only as a painter but also as an architect, ecologist and philosopher, in particular for all those who are searching for a life tuned to the natural and the human.
This trade edition consists of the first volume of TASCHEN's limited editionFriedensreich Hundertwasser 1928–2000, and offers a complete presentation of Hundertwasser's work, personality
and life, with detailed texts by Hundertwasser's longtime friend Wieland Schmied.
