About this product

Product Information

Gaud's complete works: The inspiring, visionary buildings by the "Dante of architecture" Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaud--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 Gell 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 Gaud'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 Gaud 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. Gaud 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.

Book was listed as in "Very Good" condition. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was more in a "Like New" condition. Very pleased about this. Not so thrilled about paying US$53.94 + tax for the book. This has nothing to do with the seller. This is a rare item and this price would be considered a bargain price seeing that it is almost impossible to find a copy of this used book anywhere else. Great transaction. Well packed for shipping too. Thank you!

  • Gaudi Book? Extraordinary!

    I found an earlier review of this book which criticized the photos & prose. I did not find that to be true. Rather, the book was painstaking in its history of Gaudi, his genius, and the place his architecture holds in the life of Barcelona. This book truly makes one feel lucky in their life to have come to know of Gaudi and his work. This book allows one to be a part of Gaudi's beauty and wonder at just the turn of a page.

  • Love Gaudi? Skip this one!

    What a disappointment! Pictures rather dark, text is dated. The only redeeming quality is the book's size and format.
