“851A The Right to Dream” is an artwork created by the renowned artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, in 1987. Executed in the medium of woodcut, this piece falls under the art movement known as Transautomatism and belongs to the figurative genre. It is part of the “Joy of Man” series.
The artwork is characterized by vibrant colors and whimsical elements that are typical of Hundertwasser’s distinctive style. Two abstracted human figures with blank, white faces and striped hats are depicted within a structured yet lively composition. They appear to be set within an abstract boat-like shape, filled with a mosaic of patterns including checkered squares and flowing grids, creating a visually dynamic and textured surface. The background is an array of vivid hues with circular patterns resembling lollipops or trees, contributing to the dreamlike quality. Dominated by bright red, blue, green, and yellow, the artwork exudes a sense of joy and imagination, resonating with the thematic essence of the series.
