Antonio Gaudi(1852-1925)
• Spanish Architect of the Art Nouveau Style• Drew inspiration from Gothic style, but developed
a unique style of his ownHe 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
