Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Nature is beautiful.Art is beautiful.Both belong together. Man is walking happilyinto the natureand takes something with himwhich enjoys man and nature. A beautiful stick to walk with a round knob in many colours and acolourful bundlecloth to carry things.When you spread it outin the shadow to have a rest on green moss in the woods in the mountains on a merrily rushing stream.Then the bundlecloth fits the treeand the walking-stick fits the flowersand the whole world fits together again.You can walk with it as far as Japanthere the bundlecloth is called Furoshki.Kaurinui Valley, June 4, 1994Monocolour print of a mirror image of 887 Tropical Chinese. By leaving things out one can achieve incredible effects.(from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 1107)
