Gaudí’s works have a highly individualised style, defined by his unique compositions, organic shapes, and kaleidoscopic designs. They transcend not only mainstream modernism, but traditional art forms. Gaudí was particularly admired by surrealist and abstract expressionist painters, as well as sculptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis use of colourful mosaics was part of his trademark style and created unique patterns on his sculptures all across the city of Barcelona. Perhaps Gaudí’s most-loved contribution is \u003cem\u003ePark Güell\u003c\/em\u003e, a vibrant garden filled with his art. Reproduced here is a section of a mosaic sun on the ceiling of the park’s Hypostyle Room, alongside the abstract lines from his chimney pots at the \u003cem\u003eCasa Milà\u003c\/em\u003e building. Gaudí’s last work of civic architecture, \u003cem\u003eCasa Milà\u003c\/em\u003e (also known as \u003cem\u003eLa Pedrera\u003c\/em\u003e) represented a break with the conventions of his day, designed as a totally undulating building with a beating heart like a living being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaudí’s fascination with the geometry of nature stemmed from his deep religious devotion, seeing the organic lines as a form of divine creation. As Gaudi said: \u003cem\u003e“Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.”\u003c\/em\u003e With this design, we celebrate Gaudí’s vision and the sense of heaven on earth he created for us all to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detail from ceiling with mosaic sun (Park Güell) and chimney pots (Casa Milà building)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1900-1912\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midi – 130 × 180 × 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate range:\u003c\/strong\u003e January – December 2027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Week-to-View Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 (88 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 gsm acid-free smooth paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wrap closure with hidden magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smyth sewn – lies flat and stays durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePouch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back cover pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gaudi’s Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gaudi’s Mosaics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% recycled binder boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed cover paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on acid-free paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded stitching and glue, as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 satin ribbon markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemento pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonthly planner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear planner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational dialling codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini calendars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld time zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote-taking pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e DE1922-1 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349719221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts.
