Farbenprächtige Mosaike, verspielt fließende Formen, fantasievolle Fassaden – Barcelona glänzt mit den Bauwerken Antoni Gaudís. Doch wie wurde aus dem Sohn eines katalanischen Schmieds ein weltberühmter Architekt? Seine ersten Lebensjahre waren sicherlich prägend. Wegen einer Krankheit musste der junge Gaudí viel Zeit allein verbringen. Einen großen Teil davon verbrachte er in der Natur, die er später als seine große Lehrerin bezeichnen sollte. Schon während seiner Ausbildung als Architekt in Barcelona waren seine Lehrer irritiert. Sie hielten den Schüler mit seinen ausgefallenen Ideen für exzentrisch, manchmal sogar für verrückt. Dabei war Gaudí seiner Zeit einfach voraus. Heute zählen seine Bauten zum UNESCO-Welterbe. Das Buch erscheint pünktlich zum 170. Geburtstag Gaudís 2022. Mit einem Blick für den besonderen Charakter des Künstlers erzählt Susan B. Katz vom Leben und Werk Gaudís. Die Illustrationen der Serafina- Preisträgerin Linda Schwalbe sind phänomenal kraftvoll und spiegeln meisterhaft den Stil Gaudís wider.
