Summary:
The complete works of the great
Antoni
Gaudi (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of
Antoni
Gaudi, the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain, it was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of
architecture
produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisle, the expansive Guell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family, a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed.
Antoni
Gaudi's
life
was full of 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 church. As a young man Gaudi had a liking for the glamour of social
life
and the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other hand, he lived a spartan
life
. Gaudi never married and
devoted
his
life
entirely to his art:
architecture
. His works have been acclaimed as "soothing oases in a desert of functional buildings," as "precious gems in the uniform grey of rows of houses," and the master himself was acclaimed as the "Dante of
architecture
". This book provides a sweeping study of his entire career, presenting his complete works via texts and illustrations.
