Hundertwasser comment about the work 699 "THE HOUSES ARE HANGING UNDERNEATH THE WOODS (MEADOWS)"

"An important picture, as I dreamed up my later architectural work in it. As I did not think it was possible that I would ever build such a thing, I painted it. You can do that without a building permit, you know. A house on which forests live in storeys. With the elevator you come to the forest on the third or fourth storey. The lodgings for people are subordinate to the living space of the trees and are suspended on the undersides of the forests. I painted the picture in mid-winter, with snow in front of the windows of my mill in the Waldviertel. This was a time when the events of my life followed in rapid succession: nude demonstrations, the architect manifesto "Loose from Loos", voyages with the Regentag, a film by Peter Schamoni, the death of my mother and the beginning of my friendship with Joram Harel, to whom I confided my wish to be able to transform what I painted into real houses. He kept his word, and what seemed to be incredible came true."
