Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Painted "lap top" in the airplane over India. The insde of an airplane, the chair backs you see from behind and the portholes, is very monotonous. Everything else has to be made up. So I dream of ugly houses and how they could look better. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 575)
