Gaudí's works have a highly individualised style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Família. Gaudí's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. He designed every detail of his creations, and integrated into his architecture crafts such as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. Under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudí became part of the Modernista movement, which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream Modernism, culminating in an organic style inspired by natural forms. ***Gaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models, and moulding the details as he conceived them. Gaudí's work enjoys global popularity and continuing admiration and study by architects. His masterpiece, the still-incomplete Sagrada Família, is the most-visited monument in Spain. ***A nicely produced art book, beautifully illustrated. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
