“781 Green Town,” an artwork by Friedensreich Hundertwasser created in 1978, employs a mixed media approach and is representative of the Transautomatism movement. This figurative piece showcases Hundertwasser’s distinctive style characterized by vibrant colors and organic forms.
The artwork presents a vivid and dynamic interpretation of a town, dominated by shades of green that evoke a sense of lush vegetation and verdant landscapes. The composition is rich with swirling, undulating lines that create a rhythmic flow across the piece, guiding the viewer’s eye through the scene. Trees are depicted with circular patterns and bright colors, juxtaposed against linear elements suggesting roads or pathways. Buildings, adorned with colorful windows, add to the whimsical and energetic atmosphere. The overall effect is one of harmonious chaos, blending natural elements with human habitation in a uniquely stylized manner.
