"The Magical Garden" Bowl

$234.00

Details

Hundertwasser's aversion to the geometrically straight line was influenced above all by his view of nature. After all, it does not occur in nature, and Hundertwasser felt that modern cities, characterised by the grid system and sterile straight lines, were virtually a threat.

When architects today think about the city of tomorrow, topics such as roof greening, even roof forestation (and even urban kitchen gardening) are a major focus. Hundertwasser already implemented such things in the 1980s. He wanted to give the city back its natural, irregular, even "magical" qualities.
"The Magic Garden" belongs to this category. The bowl refers to a motif the artist created in his painting "The Three Houses of Atlantis" (1963): Earth houses built into the hillside that reminded him of "the antediluvian time when the world was Minoan-Etruscan, colourful and joyful". A life amid the magic that otherwise only nature and the garden can offer us.
