Description of the work of art: About this piece, the seventh of the portfolio Hundertwasser´s Regentag, you can say without any exaggeration, that it belongs to the most expressive and impressive ones within Hundertwasser´s graphic oeuvre. The portrait of a woman merged in an abundance of associations, whose weird beauty fascinates on one hand and touches on the other hand, is shaped by stripes resulting from the fundamental spiral.
Günter Dietz achieved something very special to reach the effect of a painted picture, to even surpass it. He increased the colourexcerpts, which have to be printed together in a very precise way, to a number of 29 sieves. He printed different metalstamps and two phosphorous colours flashing up inside mouth and eyes in darkness. The model had been painted with eggtempera and oilcolours on a base of crayoned foil of aluminum, and the silkcut, for which the artist had painted nine new transparent foils for the sieves, enabled to increase this artistic intention.
The way the painting was created in November 1969 in Rome, where Hundertwasser was close to the Bulgaric actress Irina Maleewa to who he dedicated this vision of a memory, the way the graphic had grown more than that to a timeless picture of yearning and love, to the eternal in its transitory.

Hundertwasser was also an architect and invented things which showed his interest in environment protection.
monkeys ate his mother
Haeckel made watercolor sketches. From those lithographic plates were produced.
Harry Rand is asking Hundertwasser the same question for his book "Hundertwasser". Hundertwasser argues that he did not feel comfortable with the marriage even before the wedding had taken place. ;-) When he was 25 years old he got to know a 16 year old austrian-italian girl named Herta Leitner. Even though he liked the girl he was not very happy when she begged him to marry her. He said: Ok when we reach Gibraltar we'll marry, and then tried to delay their journey. Finally they reached Gibraltar and the girl blackmailed Hundertwasser by threatening him with committing suicide in case he wouldn't become her husband. Hundertwasser was not willing to take that risk and so they became a couple. The joint time, however, must have been a horror trip due to Hundertwasser, as Herta was deeply influenced by her Nazi-parents. So she came up with lots of stupid prejudices against jews (as Hundertwasser was one) for example she bought onions instead of fruits as a snack, because she heard that jews always eat onions as a snack. It is not very suprising that Hundertwasser wanted to unwind the relation as soon as possible. For the sake of truth it is fair to say that this is only Hundertwassers point of view, maybe she wasn't as impossible as he states.
No, he did not.
