Friedensreich Hundertwasser


His name means "Peace-Kingdom Hundred-Water"


From Wikipedia:
"The common themes in his work utilised bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism, rejecting straight lines"

...Which means I have a lot in common with him, even more so than I originally thought.

He died in 2000, having made his home in New Zealand. Though he traveled a lot, his watch was always set on new Zeland time.

Hundertwasser is an old favourite of mine. Interesting to hear what his name means.
