I went to Parc Guell to see a bit of Gaudi and I think my favorite parts of mosaic were done by his collaborator, Josep Maria Jujol. I want to look at more of his work to see if I can tease out which bits he did. The terrace benches are decorated with patterned broken tile that is really beautiful and subtle in a way that much of the other trencadis in the park isn't. The aspect of Gaudi's work I'd not known about was his engineering. The park is full of slanted columns that look decorative but are canted that way to support the load. I'd no idea, until I got up close, how practical his work was. #barcelona #modernisme #artnouveau #architectural #engineering #drawntoadventure ps. On the topic of creative collaboration, this World's Most Fashionable Paper Doll was cut and colored by Tiny Tiki Papier. She is dressed for an apres-touristing picnic. #kidsart #tikidolls #bespoke
