The father of Catalán modernism and one of the most innovative architects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was Antoni Gaudí. Years before his time, Gaudí employed experimental modeling and avant-garde building techniques. His structures looked like they were plucked from the ocean or the countryside with their curved, whimsical lines because he was greatly inspired by the natural world. A vibrant picture book biography paying homage to an original mind, creative artist and profoundly gifted architect — a paragon in his time, and ours.
Gaudí: Architect of Imagination was written by Susan B. Katz, illustrated by Linda Schwallbe and published by North South Books.
