Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Hundertwasser’s original and unruly artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, environmentalism, philosophy, and design of facades, postage stamps, flags, and clothing (among other areas). The common themes in his work utilised bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism, rejecting straight lines.

He was fascinated by spirals, and called straight lines “godless and immoral” and “something cowardly drawn with a rule, without thought or feeling”^[10] He called his theory of art “transautomatism“, focusing on the experience of the viewer rather than the artist.^[11] This was encapsulated by his design of a new flag for New Zealand, which incorporated the image of the Koru a spiral shape based on the image of a new unfurling silver fern frond and symbolizing new life, growth, strength and peace according to the Māori people.

David Fulleraton

One of the funniest series of collages that I have ever read. And its because its a series that its funny. Of course it is morning. And I’ve been to the can. And taken my meds. All my kids are employed or in school. And my wife is at work… Life is good. For me. So I laugh. At others… I know its cruel but I blame it on David Fulleraton... That was cruel. I’m sorry.
