Panish architect and designer, Antoni Gaudi (I852-1926) is an hnportant and int uential
figure in the history of contemporary Spanish art. His use of colour, application of different materials and introduction of movement in his constructions were an innovatio in the realm of architecture. In his journal, Gaudi freely expressed his own feelings on art, "the olours 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 Gaudi, master of some of tt most famous constructions, design objects and greatest works in Spanish architecture. Th book offers a great insight into Gaudi's work.
