Hundertwasser (1928-2000), Austrian painter and printmaker survived 
the Nazis. "His floridly patterned works with their haunting and rich 
colours are dependent on the decorative tradition that produced Art 
Nouveau. The luxurious, sinuous forms and expressive distortions 
affiliate him to figurative artists such as Klimt and 
Schiele....Hundertwasser made significant contributions to printing 
techniques with such works as the woodcut series Nana Hiakv Mizu 
(1973; with Japanese artists).," Harry Rand (in Grove).

A fine copy with a fine print in a very near fine lightly rubbed 
wooden case with a few very tiny nicks. A beautiful production.
