The Complete Works - 40th Anniversary","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe life of Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was full of complexity and 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 spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona, his clothes were so shabby that passersby assumed he was a beggar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGaudi's incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering surface textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batllo to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his buildings enjoy global popularity and acclaim; his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"biblio-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eFormat\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback | 512 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eDimensions\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e156 x 217 x 44.45mm | 1,461g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"datePublished\"\u003e13 Sep 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemscope=\"Taschen GmbH\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/publishers\/Taschen-GmbH\" itemprop=\"url\"\u003eTaschen GmbH\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication City\/Country\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCologne, Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eLanguage\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN10\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3836566192\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN13\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9783836566193\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Basheer Graphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35558858850467,"sku":"9783836566193","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/7032\/products\/120.jpg?v=1633327149","url":"https:\/\/www.basheergraphic.live\/products\/gaudi-the-complete-works-40th-anniversary","provider":"Basheer Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
