Friedensreich Hundertwasser was a unconventional artist, a painter, architect, and ecologist. He caused controversy around the world with his works, in which some were not completed until after his death.
Hundertwasser's works ranged from complete rejection to thunderous applause. He was not only Vienna's foremost eccentric artist, but one of Austria's most well known personalities.
Hundertwasser is well known for his abstract works which always featured a diversity of colors. He gained experience from his extensive trips to countries such as Italy, France, Morocco, and Japan.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser used colorful ornaments, swooping contours, and spirals in his works. In fact, Hundertwasser hated straight lines and right angles, he called them the "Devil's tools". Spirals were somewhat of a signature of Hundertwasser, he saw them as symbols that represent life, infinity, and freedom.
In 1958, Hundertwasser had banned straight line from all of his architectural drawings. He replaced them with spirals and formed organic buildings. He made dancing windows, ornamental facades, and multi-colored towers with onion domes. He made his fantasy buildings come to life.
