Antoni GaudÍ

Spanish architect and designer Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) is an important and influentialfigure in the history of Spanish art. His use of colour, application of different materials and introduction of movement in his constructions were an innovation in the realm of architecture. In his journal, Gaudí freely expressed his own feelings on art, “the colours used in architecture have to be intense, logical and fertile.”The author, Jeremy Roe, is interested in a wide range of photography and architectural detail.This interest drives the author and enables him to reveal the context of the art of Barcelona while he guides us through an introduction to Antoni Gaudí, master of some of the most famousconstructions, design objects and greatest works in Spanish architecture. This book offers a great insight into Gaudí’s work.
