Antonio Gaudi
(1852-1925)
• Spanish Architect of the Art Nouveau Style
• Drew inspiration from Gothic style, but developed
a unique style of his own
He once said on the subject of gothic architecture:
• Gothic art is imperfect, it means to solve; it is the style of
the compass, the formula of industrial repetition. Its
stability is based on the permanent propping of abutments:
it is a defective body that holds with support... gothic
works produce maximum emotion when they are mutilated,
covered with ivy and illuminated by the moon.
• Church was recently dedicated as a basilica, and is said to
be completed in 2026
