This was my first Hundertwasser book. I love this book because it is a great starting point for anyone who is interested in his work and his rationale. It's a great entry point for anyone who would like to explore the theory behind the painter's work without getting too heavy. It's got lots of his beautiful images and unlike a lot of other books about Hundertwasser it covers his paintings, stamps, flags, clothing and shoes as well as some of his buildings. Usually books on his work concentrate on one area of his work or theory, this one overviews the lot.
