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), & the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family
- a project which was begun over 100 years ago & has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudi`s life was full of contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement & 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 & the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other h&, he lived a spartan life. Gaudi never married & 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, ” & 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 & illustrations.

Wherever they go, anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain. It was there, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works. Raised during the Industrial Revolution, Gaudi strove to distinguish & reaffirm the identity of his native Catalonia as Spain & the rest of Europe modernized. Early neo-Gothic designs were the stepping-stone to the mature, original style that came to be synonymous with his name. Incorporating bold colors & odd bits of material into his designs, Gaudi created inspiring, visionary buildings & helped establish Barcelona (most notably with the still-unfinished Sagrada Familia cathedral) as a city of the world. ...

Antoni Gaudi & his inimitable fluid, organic style, is inextricably linked with the city of Barcelona. His spectacular buildings
