Spanish architect and designer Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) is an important and influential 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 innovation in the realm of architecture. In his journal, Gaudí freely expressed his own feelings on art, “the colours 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 Gaudí, master of some of the most famous constructions, design objects, and greatest works in Spanish architecture. This book offers a great insight into Gaudí’s work.
The author Jeremy Roe, PhD, is a lecturer at Christie’s Education, London, and at several universities (including the University of London and Middlesex University), where he specialises in Spanish Art. He regularly speaks at international conferences on this subject.
