Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an artist, environmentalist, philosopher, humanist, architect, and graphic designer, whose unique style appeals to a wide audience. An essay in words and pictures, this publication takes the reader on a journey in thirteen stages through Hundertwasser's life and work. It explores his native city Vienna in the post-war era, his studio, his travels across Europe, Japan, and the Pacific Rim, as well as his famously unconventional speeches on mould, tree rental, ships, and nuclear energy, some of which he delivered in the nude. Imaginatively designed to capture its subject's inimitable style, this book is a glorious tribute to an artist who appeals to people of all ages.
