Gaudí: The Complete Works

Rainer Zerbst, 2019

Overview

Antoni Gaudí's life was marked by complexity and transformation, evolving from a critic of the church and supporter of Catalan nationalism to a devout builder of the Sagrada Familia. His youth was characterized by a sophisticated social life, a stark contrast to his later years. Gaudí's architecture mirrors this intricacy, blending Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a distinctive Modernista style. His iconic works, including Casa Batlló and Casa Vicens, showcase shimmering textures and Hispano-Arabic influences. Today, his unique aesthetic is globally celebrated, with seven of his creations recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
