Marketing Verbiage
Friedensreich Hundertwasser, born in Austria in 1928 as Friedrich Stowasser, was an Austrian artist who became known for designing buildings. He also painted, designed posters and created stamps. He had a lively imagination which he expressed by using bright colours, organic forms and wavy lines. In his mind humans and nature should live in harmony - without straight lines which he considered 'something sowardly drawn with a ruler, without thought or feeling'.
