Anthony Placid Guillem Gaudi-e-Cornet June 25, 1852, Reus, Catalonia – June 10, 1926, Barcelona) is a Catalan architect, most of whose projects are erected in Barcelona.
What could A. Gaudi type have been?
His art, design and architecture belong to energy Superid – a good mixture of fairy tale and Halloween. Beauty in colour, the power of nature and the end of it – irrational theme. Nature belongs to irrationality and he was motivated by nature.
I always thought he could be ILI but looking deeper into his style I am thinking about sensing because sensing is everywhere in his artwork. Yes, he definitely had a vision and imagination but in my view, it was dominated by sensing – attention to detail and power of a stone and colour – something very specific.
All of his artwork look heavy and can be associated with the low tone of the sound in music….which is also sensing. Some are looking rough – sheer power. Some pictures like the ceiling in Sagrada remind me of the human skeleton. Well, it is what we see inside the cathedral and not on the outside. And on the outside cathedral is supported by massive animals’ legs.
In Russian culture, we have a very popular fairy-tale character who lived in a wooden house on two chicken legs and that was Syperid character too.
So, I think that the most suitable type of Gaudi is SLI.
