Hundertwasser

This October, the Cobra Museum of Modern Art presents Austrian eccentric and architectural revolutionary Hundertwasser in all of his youthful glory. That is, his bold, colorful and circular pre-design days, when straight lines were the devil’s tools and painting his muse.

The name Hundertwasser will probably have you thinking of the Austrian’s wild architectural designs, but he actually started out as a painter and in his early work experimented with bold colours, round patterns and ‘horror vacui’. He called straight lines ‘devil’s tools’. The Cobra Museum provides you with a selection of his early work along with a Zoom-In App, through which you can be your own art critic and create a ‘wild documentation’ of the exhibition. Extra perk: first 25 visitors will receive a poster by graphic designers Niessen & De Vries.
