Short description

ars mundi Special Edition | Limited, 999 Copies | Numbered | Porcelain | Palladium and Gold Décor | Green | Format 13.5 x 29.5 x 26 cm (H/W/D)

Hundertwasser´s aversion to geometrical straight lines is especially visible in his image of nature. In nature, they are not actually present and Hundertwasser sees the modern cities, marked by raster systems and sterile straight lines, as a threat. As early as 1958, he presented a revolutionary manifest against rationalism and architecture – and implemented it later in his buildings. Thereby, he was far ahead of his times. When architects are thinking today about the city of tomorrow, such themes as roof greening or roof forests (and even municipal vegetable gardening) are great issues. Hundertwasser implemented such things in the 80s. He wanted to give back the cities the irregular, the "magic". "The Magical Garden" belongs to this context. The bowl illustrates the theme created by the artist in his painting "The Three Houses of Atlantis" (1963): The sloped earth huts remind us of the “antediluvian times when the world was still Minoan-Etruscan, colorful and cheerful". A life surrounded by magic, which can be offered to us only by nature and gardens. High quality bowl in 17 colors, fired three times at 1200 Celsius. With palladium and gold. Made in the Royal Privileged Porcelain Factory Tettau. Limited to 999 hand numbered copies. Format: 13.5 x 29.5 x 26 cm (H/W/D), Weight 1.2 kg. Green. ars mundi special edition.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000) was one of the most famous and creative artists. Being under the influence of Paul Klee and Gustav Klimt the Austrian master developed the artistic world of winding secrets and in no other work of art the paint is applied more bravely and sensitively than in paintings of Hundertwasser.

The promotion of life according to the laws of nature and the desire to reflect all areas of life in art individually were the main points of Hundertwasser’s creative works. He wanted to unite the creatures of men with the creatures of the nature and help people to satisfy the desire for the beautiful and various in the harmony with nature.

The art of Hundertwasser was opposed to the monotonous reality of the every-day life governed and founded by the mere ratio. Instead of the strict lines perceived as too geometrical he placed the natural shapes. He changed the pervasive grey for powerful and shining colors up to glossy gold.

His art wasn’t purely the gallery or museum kind of art. According to Hundertwasser if the art was destined to change the world, it should enter the lives of average people. When he addressed to the “practical” art and designed the objects of everyday life like book covers, glasses, cups, postal stamps and, finally, the whole houses, it wasn’t the new direction of his art, but continuation of the prospect, set in the beginning of his artistic career: “I want to give people the things which are beautiful and practical, which can mean something for them and enrich them.”

For Hundertwasser art should be associated with individual creativity. He was skeptical about the mass production of things and hostile to the purely functional architecture. He was sure that his sketches can preserve their harmonious beauty only through manual work.
