Overview
Colorful mosaics, playful flowing forms, imaginative facadesāBarcelona shines with the buildings of Antoni GaudĆ. How did the son of a Catalan blacksmith become a world-famous architect? The first years of GaudĆ's life were challenging. Because of an illness, young GaudĆ couldnāt attend school and was often alone. Many of his days were spent out in nature, which he would later call his great teacher. Even during his training as an architect in Barcelona, his teachers were puzzled, wondering: is he a āgenius or a fool?ā Many considered his unusual ideas eccentric, sometimes even crazy. But GaudĆ was simply ahead of his time. His buildings are now a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site.Ā Ā
With an insightful eye into the world of an inspired genius, award-winning author Susan B. Katz tells of GaudĆ's life and work. Linda Schwalbe's dazzling and powerful illustrations reflect the inventive, daring, and flamboyant style of GaudĆ's work.
