Gaudí: The Complete Works - 40th Anniversary Edition

Rainer Zerbst, 2020

Overview

Antoni Gaudí's life was marked by complexity and transformation, from his early involvement in Catalan nationalism and criticism of the church to his later devotion to the Sagrada Familia. His youth was characterized by a social life and dandyish demeanor, a stark contrast to his humble appearance at the time of his death. Gaudí's architecture reflects this intricate duality, merging influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. His buildings, including seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are globally celebrated, with the Sagrada Familia being Spain's most visited monument.
