Description
Gaudí God's Architect is an accessible account of the life and work of the modernist Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. A deeply religious and politically right-wing man, Gaudí built revolutionary buildings that continue to fascinate millions of tourists each year. This book explores Gaudí's life, work, and influences, from his provincial upbringing to his time in Barcelona, and delves into the contradictions of his life and art.
Expertly guided by Michael Eaude, this biography offers a concise introduction to Gaudí's dozen great works, including the iconic Sagrada Família. The book sheds light on Gaudí's unique style, which fused Gothic, Baroque, and Orientalist architecture, and explores the events that led to his nervous breakdown and obsessive religiosity.
With this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Gaudí's life and work, and explore the complexities of his art and legacy.
