Gaudi in the Flesh

Antoni Gaudi was one of the most accomplished and creative of the European architects who worked in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is best known for his still unfinished cathedral known as the Sagrada Familia, but visitors to Barcelona are also very familiar with the colorful and whimsical mosaics that adorn Park Guell. Here is a kneeling model who becomes a human canvas for one of Gaudi's mosaic motifs that appears throughout the park.
