Hundertwasser Manifesto - Austria Trip (I)

Why may a human being not do what he needs to do, like a flower.

The colourful, the abundant, the manifold, is always better than mediocre grey and uniformity.

Only those who think and live creatively will survive in this life and beyond.
(Hundertwasser)

De ce nu poate un om să se comporte ca o floare!

Culorile, abundenta, varietatea  sunt mai bune decât griurile mediocre şi uniformitatea.

Numai cei care cred şi trăiesc creativ vor supravieţui în această viaţă şi dincolo de ea.

(Hundertwasser)

Paintings for me are gateways, which enable me, if I have

been successful, to open them into a world which is both

near and far for us, to which we have no admission, in

which we find ourselves, but which we cannot perceive,

which is against the real world

Our parallel world, from which we remove ourselves in one respect

Yes, and that is the paradise, that is what we are in, what we are arrested in, and which some inexplicable power denies us.
(Hundertwasser)

Picturile pentru mine sunt porti care ma lasa sa descopar o lume atât de

aproape dar intangibila , in care nu putem intra, dar in care suntem ... pe care nu o putem percepe,

si care este împotriva lumii reale.

Lumea noastră paralela, din care ne autoexcludem într-un fel.

Da, ăsta este paradisul, suntem in el, suntem arestaţi în el, paradisul in care o putere inexplicabilă ne neagă.

(Hundertwasser)

I believe, and I am absolutely certain, and therefore I believe, that painting is a religious occupation, that the actual impulse comes from without, from something else that we do not know, an indefinable power which comes or does not come and which guides your hand

People used to say in earlier times that it was the muse, for example, it's a stupid thing to say of course, but it is some kind of illumination.

And the only thing one can do is to prepare the ground, so that this extraterrestrial impulse or however else one might describe it can reach you.

Cred şi sunt absolut sigur şi prin urmare, cred că pictura este o ocupaţie religioasa, că impulsul real vine din afară de la altceva ce nu stim, o putere nedefinita care vine sau nu vine şi care ghidează mâna...

Oamenii obişnuiau să spună demult că a fost muza ! Pare un lucru stupid , dar este un fel de iluminare!

Şi singurul lucru pe care- l putem face este să pregătim terenul, astfel încât acest impuls extraterestru sau cum vrem sa-l numim , ne poate atinge.

(Hundertwasser)

That means eliminating the will, eliminating the intelligence, eliminating "wanting to do better", eliminating ambition...

I should perhaps like to be known as the magician of vegetation or something similar. We are in need of magic

I fill a picture until it is full with magic, as one fills up a glass with water

Everything is so infinitely simple, so infinitely beautiful.

Venice, 1975
(Hundertwasser)


Asta înseamnă că trebuie sa fii pregătit....
Asta înseamnă să elimini vointa , inteligenta, să elimini  "vreau  mai bine, mai mult", să elimini ambiţia!
Aş vrea, probabil, să fiu cunoscut ca vrăjitorul copacilor sau ceva similar. Avem nevoie de magie!
Aş umple o imagine numai cu magie, ca şi cum ai umple un pahar cu apă!
Totul este atât de  infinit de simplu , aşa infinit de frumos.
Veneţia, 1975
(Hundertwasser)

Hundertwasser is one of the most important artists & architects to emerge from the latter half of the 20th-century and is certainly by far the most important Austrian one.

Turda Salt Mine - Transylvania, Romania

Turda Salt Mine

Salina Turda Romania

One of the most important salt mines in Transylvania- Romania, Turda Salt Mine has been known since ancient times, but it has been put into operation for underground mining work during the Roman period.

The Salt Mine is mentioned in official documents for the first time in 1271, when the mine was offered to the Transylvanian Catholic Church leaders. In the Middle Ages, Turda was one of the biggest places of salt extraction in entire region. The salt was extracted as clods, which were then cut by specialist workers. The mines were lit by candles and tallow rush lights; explosives were never used for exploitation nor mechanical equipment used for cutting the salt.

The microclimate in the mine is characterized by yearly variations of temperature between 11 - 12° C; the average humidity level inside is 80% and the air pressure is between 747-752 mm Hg.

The lack of pathogen bacterium and a moderate air ionization is therefore favorable to breathing treatments.

Impressive galleries, long tunnels and mining system, great acoustics and very healthy microclimate.
