This book is a deconstruction of color and form, followed by an arbitrary reconstruction of material.
It is an artist book that does not, in fact, speak about art, nor to art enthusiasts. Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser's colorful prints and paintings were inserted into an online color palette extractor, where they were analyzed and reduced to a mere few components: RGB color codes, wonderfully random color names and their percentage in the artist's work. They were later re-formed into arbitrary compositions, creating a new formal array. The result is a book with a familiar format, filled with arbitrary analytical content.
