Art Is Beauty Quote By Antoni Gaudí
“Beauty is the splendor of truth, and like art is beauty, without truth there’s no art”
-Antoni GaudíArchitect
Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was a Spanish architect born in Reus, in the Catalonia region of Spain and leader of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí’s works reflect his highly individual and distinctive style and are largely concentrated in the Catalan capital of Barcelona, notably his magnum opus, the Sagrada Família.
Much of Gaudí’s work was marked by his big passions in life: architecture, nature, religion. Gaudí studied every detail of his creations, integrating into his architecture a series of crafts in which he was skilled: ceramics, stained glass, wrought iron workforging and carpentry. He introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís, made of waste ceramic pieces.
