Gaudi. The Complete Works - Rainer Zerbst - książka
Producent: Taschen
Antoni Gaudí's life (1852–1926) reflected a rich tapestry of complexities and opposing themes. Initially, he was involved with the Catalonian nationalist movement and held a critical view of the church. However, later in life, he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the magnificent La Sagrada Familia. In his early years, Gaudí embraced a lively social life and projected the image of a fashionable dandy. By the time he tragically died in a tram accident in Barcelona, his attire had become so worn that those around mistook him for a homeless person. Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces encapsulate this diverse and intricate nature. His creations, such as the gleaming surfaces and skeletal structures of Casa Batlló and the Hispano-Arabic design of Casa Vicens, weave together the strands of Oriental influences, natural motifs, innovative materials, and profound religious devotion into a distinctive Modernista style. Today, Gaudí's work is celebrated worldwide, with his style reigning supreme in popularity. The Sagrada Familia, his crowning achievement, stands as Spain's most-visited monument, while seven of his works are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This book offers an unprecedented glimpse into Gaudí’s world through contemporary photography, his own sketches and plans, historical images, and an appendix cataloging all his creations—from buildings and furniture to décor and incomplete ventures. It feels like an intimate tour through Barcelona, revealing how the "Dante of architecture" was a true craftsman, constructing extraordinary buildings from intricate, awe-inspiring details, and bringing visionary dreams to life on city streets.
