Gaudi, The Manuscript of Reus Ultra Lined Hardcover Journal, 144pg, 120GSM, Antoni Gaudi Collection by Paperblanks (Embellished Manuscripts Collection)

Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) was a Spanish architect who was known as a leading figure in Modernism and the pioneer of Catalan Art Nouveau. Gaudí’s work was greatly influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature and religion. His exceptional style is characterized by the depiction of organic forms, abstract lines and extraordinary mosaics. Gaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models and moulding the details as he conceived them. As such he left very few written documents, and many of those he did leave were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War riots. Reproduced here is the Manuscrito de Reus (Manuscript of Reus), the only remaining written document of Gaudí’s. The notebook, which is a collection of his diverse impressions of architecture, is now kept at Reus Museum in his native Catalonia. Further embellishing our cover are Gaudí’s incredible mosaics from his iconic salamander sculpture alongside an image of the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia, his architectural masterpiece.Format: UltraSize: Width: 180mm (7") x Height: 230mm (9") x Depth: 20mm (¾")Interior: LinedSpace between lines: 8.11mmLines Per Page: 25Page Count: 144PagesClosure: WrapColour: BeigeGSM (paper weight): 120Binding Type: Smyth SewnCover: HardcoverEdge Printing: NoPouch Type: Memento PouchInterior Paper: Custom-designed laid paperRibbon Markers: 1100% recycled binder boardsDecorative printed cover paperFSC-certified text paperThreaded stitching and glue, as neededAcid-free sustainable forest paper Read more
