Description

Since the late 1800s, Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi's fanciful buildings have defined Barcelona's cityscape with their startling architectural forms that paralleled the development of Art Nouveau. His playful spires and towers, undulating tiled roofs, and writhing chimneys loom like fantastical creatures atop commercial and apartment buildings alike, and his sculptures are an integral component of many of the city's parks and public spaces. Published in Catalan in the 1950s and now newly translated into English, Gaudi: The Man and His Work is the first intimate biography of Antonio Gaudi based on the writings of Joan Bergos Masso. The illuminating text is the fruit of Masso's ten-year relationship with Gaudi and of Masso's own profound understanding of the master's work. From firsthand experience, we learn about Gaudi's thought processes, his discoveries about art and technique, and his personal remembrances and are given a unique view -- in words and pictures -- of one of the master architects of this century.
