The artwork titled “762 Hide Under the Meadow It Begins to Rain”, created by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1976, employs the mediums of aquatint and etching. Reflecting the Transautomatism art movement, this figurative work depicts a vibrant, whimsical scene.
The artwork portrays an idyllic countryside with a trio of red, tree-like structures at its center. These are complemented by a blue, polka-dotted object in the background, likely representing a house or a structure. The rolling hills, depicted with predominantly green hues, are interspersed with spiral patterns and topped with stylized, circular trees adorned with radiating lines. The sky is imbued with shades of orange and red, reminiscent of a setting sun or the onset of rain, lending a warm atmosphere to the scene. The use of patterns and vibrant colors encapsulates the artist’s unique aesthetic, merging natural forms with abstract designs.
