Volume: 1 27,5x22 cm., legatura in piena tela con sovraccoperta illustrata a colori, pagg.191, 193 illustrazioni in nero e a colori, prima edizione italiana, dedica autografa, buone condizioni. Nato a Reus nel 1852, morto nel 1926, Gaudì rispecchiò nella prorpia arte la situazione della terra catalana, collegata e insieme estranea alla storia d'Europa. Con l'accesa fantasia, l'instancabile immaginazione, l'alacre inventiva anche tecnica, egli riesce a far confluire nella propria matrice creativa i più svariati apporti culturali: arte catalana protostorica, arte sumera, etnologia di Frobenius, psicologia di Freud.Questo lucido brillantissmo libro è interpretazione, è rivendicazione, è soprattutto storia, riconquista del "messaggio di Gaudì" architetto e scultore.
