“775 Park,” crafted in 1978 by the esteemed artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, is a mixed media composition embodying the Transautomatism art movement. This figurative artwork showcases Hundertwasser’s distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic forms.
The artwork features a complex and colorful scene that seems to depict an abstract, whimsical landscape. Dominating the upper section are swirling circles of various hues—green, yellow, blue, and red—resembling trees with eyes on tall, thin trunks that stretch towards the sky. The interplay of colors creates an energetic and almost hypnotic effect. Below these animated trees, the ground is filled with multihued, geometric patterns that give an impression of a park or a garden. The meticulous detailing and the bold use of lines and shapes reflect Hundertwasser’s unique aesthetic vision, bringing a sense of both order and chaos to the piece.
