Friedensreich Hundertwasser

The Boy With Green Hair

Exodus Into Space

The False Eyelid

A friend of mine mentioned this artist - as being his favorite - so I looked him up. Hundertwasser ended up becoming more famous for his architecture. He prefers the organic - so even his floors are undulated. According to the Wikipedia page about him, "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, of course, I can totally relate to.

Born in Vienna 1928 -he eventually settled in New Zealand. He died in 2000.
