+ Catalan Gothic Art Nouveau: Art History Lecture

  • Athenaeum Music & Arts Library 1008 Wall Street San Diego, CA, 92037 United States (map)

Tickets at $21

Architect Antonio Gaudí was the greatest exponent of Catalan modernism. Influenced by neo-Gothic techniques and orientalism, he forged a unique organic style inspired by the complex geometry of natural forms. Although his very long career predates and postdates Art Nouveau’s heyday, his most original works coincide with the 1890–1915 period of this lecture series. His experimental work with hyperboloid and paraboloid arches influenced mid-century modernism, High Tech, postmodernism, and Deconstructivism.
