Hundertwasser
20Edizione: IngleseDisponibilità: DisponibileArchitetto, artista, visionario ecologico, Friedensreich Hundertwasser ha lasciato una scia entusiasmante di immaginazione e attivismo in edifici, dipinti, manifesti e altro ancora. Dagli indirizzi nudi e dalle campagne per la piantumazione di alberi alla Hundertwasserhaus di Vienna, Hundertwasser ha rifiutato la linea retta in tutti i sensi. La sua visione era rivolta tanto alla società in generale quanto a singoli edifici.
Hundertwasser
20Spiraling Ideas
Friedensreich Hundertwasser, hero of fluid forms and ecology
Hundertwasser’s best-known work is considered by many to be the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, a structural synthesis of the vitality and uniqueness that determined the artist’s entire oeuvre. For Hundertwasser, rational, sterile, monotonous buildings caused human misery. He called for a boycott of the modernist paradigm championed by the likes of Adolf Loos, and campaigned instead for an architecture of creative freedom and ecological commitment. A fierce opponent of straight lines, which he called “godless and immoral,” Hundertwasser was fascinated by the spiral, drawing also on the Secessionist forms of Klimt and Schiele.
This richly illustrated book traces Hundertwasser’s style and vision not only for each building, but for society at large. From naked addresses at the end of the 1960s to worldwide architecture projects and alternative blueprints for society, author Pierre Restany explores Hundertwasser’s most high-profile and innovative ideas in a thrilling introduction to a pioneering 20th-century mind.
L'autore
Pierre Restany (1930–2003) was brought up in Morocco. He later studied in France, Italy and Ireland. In 1963 he worked on the art and architecture journal domus, and since 1985 he edited the magazine D’ARS. His meeting with Yves Klein in 1955 inspired his 1960 theory of “Nouveau Réalisme” and he founded an art-group of the same name in Paris. He wrote and published extensively on the art of the twentieth century.
