Gaudí. l'Oeuvre Complet - 40th Anniversary Edition

Résumé

The life of antoni gaudí (1852–1926) was full of complexity and 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 spectacular church, la sagrada família. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of barcelona, his clothes were so shabby that passersby assumed he was a beggar.
