Favorite artist: Friedensreich Hundertwasser











So this is my favorite artist I have found in Vienna thus far and I feel he deserves his own singular post. I have only visited his apartment buildings so far but I really like his use of different angles and shapes to create a masterpiece. He is quoted to say that he things all buildings no matter what their purpose..must have an artistic feel to it. He is the man who decorated the incinorator for Vienna, which of course is one of my favorite buildings! It was the first thing I saw when I was taking the taxi the very first day, and I was shocked to find out it was where the trash goes! Crazy!
