Antoni Gaudi is perhaps the best-known artist and architect of the art-nouveau style in Barcelona: the avant-garde, flowing, natural forms that were simply called Modernisme at the time. But the city is filled with superb examples of art nouveau by many other architects -- not least of which, the remarkable building that houses the famous literary cafe Els Quatre Gats, by Josep Puig in Cadafalch; and the vast, colorful Hospital de Saint Pau, by Lluis Domenech in Muntaner.This book offers a tour of 46 houses, public buildings, and monuments in the art-nouveau style, including brand-new photographs of the work of Gaudi. Full-color details of interiors and each structure's fascinating history will tantalize past and future visitors to the city.
