Art Nouveau and Antoni Gaudí

Barcelona has been strongly characterized by outstanding architect as well as avant-garde artist Antoni Gaudí who was the most important proponent of Art Nouveau which advocated getting inspiration of creation from nature. Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and design that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century and is characterized by highly-stylized, flowing, curvilinear designs often incorporating floral and other plant-inspired motifs. One of the most important characteristics of Art Nouveau is a dynamic, undulating and flowing, curved “whiplash” line of syncopated rhythm. Another feature is the use of hyperbolas and parabolas.
