Gaudí's complete works: The inspiring, visionary buildings by the "Dante of architecture." Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudí—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 bourgeoisie, the expansive Güell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family—a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudí’s life was full of 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 church. As a young man Gaudí had a liking for the glamour of social life and the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other hand, he lived a spartan life. Gaudí never married and 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," and 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 and illustrations.

Todo aquel que hoy da pasee por Barcelona, tropezar a cada paso con el arquitecto Antoni Gaud, cuyas obras no cesan de atraer a los amantes del arte de todo el mundo. El artista realiz casi todas sus creaciones en la Ciudad Condal: Residencias para burgueses adinerados, el parque Gell (en la actualidad abierto al pblico) y la famosa iglesia en honor a la Sagrada Familia (comenzada hace un siglo, hoy todava sin concluir). La vida de Gaud est llena de contradicciones. Si bien en sus aos jvenes se adhiere al movimiento nacionalista cataln, adoptando una posicin anticlerical, dedicar los ltimos aos de su vida a la construccin de una sola iglesia. Mientras que en su juventud se siente deslumbrado por la vida de la alta sociedad y gusta de aparecer como un dandy, un espritu autnticamente espartano regir su existencia en la vejez. Gaud permaneci soltero y se entreg con cuerpo y alma a su arte, la arquitectura. Sus edificios se hicieron famosos, como un refrescante oasis en el desierto de la arquitectura funcional, como piedras preciosas engarzadas en los grises bloques de edificios. El mismo es considerado como el Dante de la arquitectura. En este libro se presenta la personalidad y la obra de Gaud en su totalidad, todo ello documentado con abundante material grfico.
