London is famous for Big Ben, Paris for the Eiffel Tower and Rome for the Coliseum. Barcelona, on the other hand, is associated not with one or two buildings but with the creations of an entire movement, Modernisme, which straddled the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This book, besides constituting a survey of the most significant buildings by Domènech i Montaner, Antoni Gaudí, Josep Maria Jujol and Puig i Cadafalch, is also a detailed analysis of the forms created by the most important craftsmen of the period, many of whom have been relegated for decades to absolute anonymity.

La Fundación Joan Miró fue la primera institución pública abierta en Barcelona centrada exclusivamente en el arte contemporáneo. Joan Miró y Josep Lluís Sert quien la diseñó, miembro fundador de GATCPAC (un grupo líder en la introducción de la arquitectura moderna en Catalunya) se encontraron por primera vez en 1932 y enseguida se hicieron buenos amigos mientras trabajaban en el pabellón español (de la República) de la Exposición Universal de París de 1937. Tras la primera gran retrospectiva del trabajo de Joan Miró en Barcelona (1968), el artista decidió construir un edificio para hacer su obra accesible al público de manera permanente. Sert fue el encargado del proyecto, para lo que creó una estructura de plano abierto en la que el interior se comunica con el exterior, creando un equilibrio perfecto entre arquitectura y paisaje. A partir de estas fechas, la Fundación se amplió en dos ocasiones. El arquitecto encargado de ambas ampliaciones fue Jaume Freixa, discípulo de Sert, que había trabajado con su maestro durante once años en Harvard y que había desempeñado un papel activo en la creación de la Fundación.
Neglected for most of her career, Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now regarded as one of the most important furniture designers and architects of the early twentieth century and the most influential woman in those fields. Her work inspired both modernism and Art Deco. Eileen Gray was to ?stand alone? throughout her career, first as a lacquer artist, then a furniture designer, and finally as an architect. At a time when other leading designers were almost all male and mostly members of one movement or another?whether a loose grouping like De Stijl in the Netherlands, or a formal one such as the Congrès Internationaux d?Architecture Moderne?she remained staunchly independent. Her design style was as distinctive as her way of working, and Gray developed an opulent, luxuriant take on the geometric forms and industrially produced materials used by the International Style designers, such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Mies van der Rohe, who shared many of her ideals. Her voluptuous leather and tubular steel Bibendum Chair and clinically chic E-1027 glass and tubular steel table are now icons of the International Style. If we adapt for individual man with his desires, his passions and tastes, then we will adapt the best of social life and the collective order. Art is based on customs, but not on the fleeting or, better-said, artificial customs created by fashion. What is needed is to give the object the form that best suits the spontaneous gesture or instinctive reflex that corresponds to it in view of its destiny. EILEEN GRAY
Nadie discute hoy que El jardín de las delicias, Las meninas, La ronda de noche, Los girasoles o Las señoritas de Aviñón son obras maestras de la pintura europea: se trata de cuadros universalmente conocidos, reproducidos hasta la saciedad y que han generado una verdadera avalancha de estudios especializados. Pero ¿por qué estas obras suscitan una estimación superior a la de muchas otras creaciones sobresalientes? La razón no es simple, y apunta tanto a los valores intrínsecos de esas piezas como a un conglomerado de factores externos de orden histórico, social y cultural. En el presente libro, un selecto grupo de expertos (integrado por Arthur Danto, el mayor teórico de arte en la actualidad, y una serie de reconocidos profesionales de los principales museos de Europa) ofrece las principales respuestas a esta compleja cuestión, desde perspectivas complementarias y con atención especial a los momentos cruciales en la forja de la noción de obra maestra (el Renacimiento italiano, la aparición del museo moderno a finales del siglo XVIII, las vanguardias contemporáneas), sin descuidar un análisis concreto, en el que explican los motivos que han convertido al Guernica en la obra maestra pictórica del siglo XX por antonomasia.
