Synopsis
The life of Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona his clothes were so shabby passersby assumed he was a beggar.
Gaudí’s incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batlló to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his unique aesthetic enjoys global popularity and acclaim. His magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain, and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Through brand-new photography, plans and drawings by Gaudí himself, historical photos, as well as an appendix detailing all his works—from buildings to furniture, decor to unfinished projects—this book presents Gaudí’s universe like never before. Like a personal tour through Barcelona, we discover how the “Dante of architecture” was a builder in the truest sense of the word, crafting extraordinary constructions out of minute and mesmerizing details, and transforming fantastical visions into realities on the city streets.

Seller: Antártica, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Cartoné (tapa dura cartón). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. La vida de Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) fue compleja y contradictoria. En su juventud se unió al movimiento nacionalista catalán y fue crítico con la Iglesia; hacia el final de su vida se dedicó por completo a la construcción de un espectacular templo: la Sagrada Familia. De joven, Gaudí llevaba una vida social glamurosa digna de un dandi. En el momento de su muerte, atropellado por un tranvía en las calles de Barcelona, iba tan mal vestido que los transeúntes creyeron que se trataba de un vagabundo.La incomparable arquitectura de Gaudí es una muestra de la complejidad de sus múltiples facetas. De las brillantes superficies y las formas orgánicas de la Casa Batlló a la matriz hispanoárabe de la Casa Vicens, su estilo modernista único muestra influencias del orientalismo, las formas naturales, los nuevos materiales y la fe religiosa. Aún hoy, su estética es reconocida en todo el mundo. Su obra maestra, la Sagrada Familia, es el monumento español más visitado y siete de sus creaciones arquitectónicas han sido incluidas en la lista de patrimonio mundial de la Unesco.A través de nuevas fotografías, planos y dibujos.
