My hommage to the recently
passed away Hundertwasser
|
||
Land of
Men, Trees, Birds, and Ships - 1950 - Saint-Mandee/Seine
France
Famous words of the Dutch
poet Slauerhoff happened to be; “my home lays in my poems only”. For Hundertwasser
we could use the alternative reading; “my home lays in my creations only”.
His paintings are so playful, so free from boundaries and yet they are
in an organic way connected to everything in nature, that this commitment
gives away his real poetic home.
The painting I have chosen
for this introduction is a clear example of such an alliance.
Underneath all the other images
I have given notification of the materials used for the creations. The PC is very well capable to reflect
beautiful colors, but what’s lacking is the structure of an image. While
this is of utmost importance in the work of this artist. Poor as he was
at his early start, he used about everything he could lay his hands on.
Often his creations were done on delicate pieces of rice-paper. Which
were easy to take on his travels. In a later phase the small pieces were glued
together .
For closing I would love to
use these winged words of Hundertwasser; 'Everything is indefinitely
simple. Everything is indefinitely beautiful’.
