This book explores Gaudí's life, work, and influences from Catalan nationalism to the industrial revolution. Michael Eaude expertly guides readers through Gaudí's dozen great works, including the Sagrada Família that attracts millions of tourists each year. Gaudí's life is also chronicled from his provincial upbringing in Reus to his time in Barcelona. He later suffered a nervous breakdown, became obsessively religious, and fused Gothic, Baroque, and Orientalist architecture into his unique style. This brief biography offers an accessible introduction to this perplexing and fascinating life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789148374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Eaude","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43624120287413,"sku":"9781789148374","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fb6afd8d-11df-4804-bc90-636238741535.jpg?v=1707800690","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/antoni-gaud-9781789148374","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
