"The rigid, straight line is fundamentally alien to humanity, life and the whole of creation". Hundertwasser applied this philosophy not only to the famous Viennese buildings for which he was renowned, but all the media and art-forms he has experimented with during his wild career. Whether it be painting, sculpture, performance art or designing a kindergarten, Hundertwasser's works are multi-coloured, organic, and shot through with a sense of the magical or fantastic. However, Hundertwasser's art has always contained a political shade. He has consistently rebelled against rationalist or determinist ideas, promoted ecological awareness, and mantained a passionate belief in the anarchy of the imagination. In this retrospective, Pierre Restany covers all the bases of Hundertwasser's eclectic development as an artist, from the tenant revolt and nude lecture of the early 70s, through the housing projects in Vienna, right up to his designs for an alternative society.

Pierre Restany (1930–2003) was brought up in Morocco. He later studied in France, Italy and Ireland. In 1963 he worked on the art and architecture journal domus, and since 1985 he edited the magazine D’ARS. His meeting with Yves Klein in 1955 inspired his 1960 theory of “Nouveau Réalisme” and he founded an art-group of the same name in Paris. He wrote and published extensively on the art of the twentieth century.

Vendeur : Epilonian Books, Manhattan Beach, CA, Etats-Unis
paperback. Etat : Very Good. Taschen GmbH [Published Date: 2000]. Soft cover, 95 pp. In very good condition. Glossy pictorial paper covers with French flaps have light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. Full color illustrations. The book delves into the philosophy and creative process of Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 - 2000), a renowned Austrian artist and architect. The "Five Skins" concept is central to the book, symbolizing the layers of human existence that Hundertwasser believed are essential for both individual and societal well-being. These "skins" represent: The epidermis: A person's identity and connection with themselves. Clothing: A form of personal expression that, according to Hundertwasser, should be artistic and unique. Housing: A reflection of individual creativity, where people should have the freedom to modify their homes according to their personal tastes. The social environment: The relationships and social circles that influence identity. The global environment: Humanity's responsibility towards the earth and its ecosystems. Hundertwasser used these concepts not only in his art but also in his architectural designs, promoting organic forms, the integration of nature into buildings, and the rejection of straight lines and grid-based architecture. His message was one of individuality, creativity, and ecological responsibility. N° de réf. du vendeur 20240923006
