Profile

Born on June 25, 1852, in Reus, Spain, Antoni Gaud was an architect whose works became, except for certain overt symbols of nature or religion, essentially representations of their structure and materials, remarkable for their range of forms, textures, and polychromy and for the free, expressive way in which these elements of his art seem to be composed.
