The artwork titled “630A It Hurts to Wait With Love if Love Is Somewhere Else,” created by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1971, is an evocative piece rendered in silkscreen within the Transautomatism art movement. It is part of the “Look at It on a Rainy Day” series and falls under the figurative genre.
The primary composition of the artwork incorporates vibrant, surreal architectural forms, dominated by a dynamic interplay of colors and geometric patterns. The central elements consist of two abstract buildings with numerous small, colorful shapes and patterns replacing traditional windows, suggestive of a mosaic. These shapes, some of which resemble teardrops, add depth and an emotional layer to the piece. There is a discernible whimsical quality in the undulating lines and domed towers, characteristic of Hundertwasser’s distinctive style. The intricate detailing and rich color palette echo themes of longing and distance, encapsulated by the title. The work features a thoughtful, emotive expression rendered through a complex and visually stimulating arrangement.
