EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait of the renowned Catalan artist and architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) was taken using an innovative system of multiple mirrors. The photograph, which showcases Gaudi's thoughtful expression and distinctive beard, was not only a creative exploration but also a crucial step in the production process for his masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia. Gaudi's use of mirrors to capture multiple angles of the sitter was a devised technique, allowing him to meticulously study and document his own features for the creation of sculptural plaster casts. The intricate details of his facial expressions and nuanced features were essential in bringing the human element to the grandiose design of the Sagrada Familia. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its role as a reference point for one of the most iconic works of modernist architecture. The image offers a unique perspective into the mind of the artist, revealing his dedication to capturing the essence of the human form and integrating it into his architectural designs. This photograph, with its captivating composition and intriguing backstory, is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of Antoni Gaudi. It serves as a reminder of the importance of exploration, order, and the integration of art and architecture in the pursuit of creating timeless masterpieces.
