\nGaud\u00ed built Torre Bellesguard between 1900 and 1909. Last Friday they saw a selection of portraits of the architect in the previous years and during its realization (see: the first portraits<\/a>) In this period, it had gone from forty to fifty years. Today we will see the last portraits, marked not only by a change of age but also by a change of pace of life. Around the time of Torre Bellesguard, the master completed his last private works, Casa Batll\u00f3 (1904-1906) and Casa Mil\u00e0 (1906-1912), and, shortly after, against his will and due to various circumstances, he left park G\u00fcell (1900-1914) and Col\u00f2nia G\u00fcell (1908-1914) unfinished.<\/p>\n

Then, around 1914, Gaud\u00ed would dedicate himself only to the Sagrada Familia. Significantly, from that moment on, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s portraits will be increasingly numerous, due to his growing popularity and the fact that, in the hope of raising funds with which to continue the works, a good part of his time, he had to dedicate it to attending to the different personalities and anyone who wanted to know him. On the other hand, as Juan Jos\u00e9 la Huerta writes, \u201cThe Sagrada Familia was already in Gaud\u00ed\u2019s life, and without comparison, the most photographed monument in Barcelona\u201d (1) Consequently, surrounded by people, sooner or later, it will not be possible to avoid the capture of a camera on the lookout…
\n1910: The first \u201cpublic\u201d photo<\/strong>
\nThanks to the impulse of Count G\u00fcell, the main patron of Gaud\u00ed, between April 15 and June 30, 1910, the architect was the object of an exhibition in Paris, the only one outside of Spain that was dedicated to him during his lifetime. The exhibition showed plans, models and photographs of his works, highlighting the Sagrada Familia, Park G\u00fcell and Palau G\u00fcell. One of those photographs was that of the architect himself, who became the first to be made public and, for this reason, much reproduced later. However, faithful to his aversion to public recognitions, Gaud\u00ed refused to attend the exhibition.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a very different reason kept him away not only from Paris but from anywhere else. Social tensions, such as the Tragic Week of 1909, and the wear and tear accumulated in previous years, the most productive, led the teacher to suffer a serious crisis. In the end, he had to take a break. He will do so in Vic, the city where his great friend Josep Torres i Bages was bishop. Despite residing in the palace of a rich landowner, Gaud\u00ed – faithful to his modest character – chose the most modest room in the house and insisted on preserving his ascetic lifestyle. However, the rest had no effect and in the spring of the following year, the architect fell ill again. Probably brucellosis, a bacterial disease of animal transmission. This time he went to Puigcerd\u00e0, a small town located in the Pyrenees, in the company of another great friend, Dr. Pere Santal\u00f3. There they stayed at the Hotel Europa, in the center of the villa. During the first weeks, the architect could not move from the bed and even came to make a will. Around autumn, he recovered his energies, and will return to Barcelona. They were waiting for him many times to be photographed…<\/p>\n

1914-1915. Gaud\u00ed, \u201ctourist guide of himself\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four years after the exhibition in Paris, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s photos as a \u201cguide of himself\u201d become increasingly numerous. In fact, they are the images that have contributed to shaping the myth of genius, like an old man with the white beard with the Sagrada Familia in the background. However, the temple is not his last work. We remember that the commission had accepted it in 1883, when he was still a little-known and reserved young architect, and of which, consequently, almost no photo is preserved. Three decades later, that young man had become a true celebrity. Here we see him in the company of the president of the Diputaci\u00f3n de Barcelona, Prat de la Riba, and the bishop of the city, Enric Reig i Casanova, in 1914.<\/p>\n

In this other, Gaud\u00ed shows the Holy Family to the apostolic nuncio of Rome, Cardinal Francesc Ragonesi, in 1915. On that occasion, the Cardinal described Gaud\u00ed with a phrase that has become famous: \u201cthe Dante of Architecture\u201d. They are not the only photographs, but we cannot upload them all. On the other hand, these photos were taken in parallel to the advances in the construction of the Sagrada Familia.<\/p>\n

1919: The secret passion of Gaud\u00ed: music<\/strong>
\nContrary to the stereotype of a mystical and hermit genius, confined to his last work, the architect maintained contact with the outside world. Only towards the end did the pace of interactions decrease, however, only because their ills prevented it. In particular, Gaud\u00ed was a great lover of music. In addition, it was an activity that could be afforded with great ease because one of his best friends was Llu\u00eds Milet. Notable conductor and composer, Millet was also a great cultural promoter. With other musicians, he founded the Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0 and the Palau de la M\u00fasica Catalana. Gaud\u00ed was a regular spectator.
\nIn 1916, he even took part in a Gregorian singing course, the master\u2019s main hobby. We remember that he was run over when he was going to the church of San Felipe Neri, where he often went because, in addition to the mass, he could also practice this form of music. A graphic document from that course has been preserved. In it, we see him with his classmates, including Louis Miletus. Now, reserved as it was, it appears a little hidden in the middle of the rest of the group<\/p>\n

In short, Gaud\u00ed not only spent the last years of his life receiving visits to the Sagrada Familia, but participating in different cultural activities, despite the personal misfortunes. Sometimes the visitors were his friends. Here we see him in the company of the already mentioned Llu\u00eds Milet. Two photographs were taken that day. In a Gaud\u00ed hides his face with his hat. In the following, a bit of a mockery again, just show the profile. At his side, Miletus seems to be laughing at his friend’s gesture.<\/p>\n

On the 11th of 1924: The year of the procession and detention…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Towards the end of his life, the number 11 is repeated in the biography of Gaud\u00ed. For example, on June 11, 1924, the last photograph of the master was taken. He was seventy-two years old. In it, we see him as part of the Corpus Christi procession in the cathedral of Barcelona. It is accompanied by members of the Cercle Art\u00edstic de Sant Lluc, an important institution of its time, of which other well-known artists were members and, among others, the Figueras family, the first owners of Torre Bellesguard.<\/p>\n

On 11 September of that same year, Gaud\u00ed was arrested when he wanted to attend the church of Sants Just i Pastor, located not far from the stage of the previous photo, the cathedral of Barcelona. His intention was to participate in a mass held in honor of the Catalans who fell during the siege of Barcelona in 1714, but the recent dictatorship of Primo de Ribera had forbidden it (see: a forbidden mass<\/a>) That day, however, there were no photographers nearby.<\/p>\n

June 11, 1926. The Last Portrait<\/strong>
\nIn January 1925, Lloren\u00e7 Matamala suffered a stroke or stroke and remained in bed in precarious conditions. Gaud\u00ed then left the house of Park G\u00fcell and spent the nights in an improvised room in the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia workshop. His friend’s family lived in a house very close to the temple. Every night, he’ll go see it. All but the June 7, 1926…
\nThat day 7, Lloren\u00e7 is surprised that Don Anton, as he called it, did not visit him. Neither that day nor the next. He did not know that his beloved friend had just been run over. Don Anton died on June 10. He had two weeks to turn seventy-four. Lloren\u00e7 will still survive him one more year, but without leaving the bed.
\nThe next day, another day 11, the main newspapers were told about the death. To illustrate it, two drawings were made. One of them was by Ricard Opisso, a cartoonist who began working with the teacher at the age of twelve, as a delineator, and who became one of the great graphic chroniclers of his time (3). The second was signed by Joaquin Renart, a great modernist artist and one of the presidents of the Cercle Art\u00edstic de Sant Lluc and the Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0, two institutions that, as we have already said, were frequented by Gaud\u00ed.<\/p>\n

\nThe eyes are closed.
\nWe’re coming to the end. Let us remember the beginning.
\nOn March 15, 1878, Gaud\u00ed finished his studies. He was twenty-six. I needed a photograph. It was the first one ever made. That day, Gaud\u00ed, with his usual sense of humor, told his friend the sculptor Lloren\u00e7 Matamala: \u201cLloren\u00e7, they say I am already an architect.\u201d. Forty-eight years later, the son of this same friend, Joan Matamala, also a sculptor, would be in charge of making a bust from his mortuary mask, the early morning of June 11, 1926. Curiously, that day was the feast of Saint Barnabas, the saint of the only bell tower that the architect saw finished<\/a> before his eyes closed forever.<\/p>\n

This drawing appeared on June 11, 1926 in a magazine called La Publicitat, but soon after, the trace of the drawing was lost. To see it again it was necessary to wait for 2019, the year that the Gothsland gallery showed it within the framework of the exhibition \u201cBarcelona and Els Quatre Gats\u201d. Until then, the portrait had been part of a private collection. At the bottom of the image we see the artist\u2019s signature in Catalan and a short title: “Antoni Gaud\u00ed dying. Drawing by Opisso”. At one end of the cushion, we also distinguish the foot of a cross.
\nAccording to Gabriel Pin\u00f3s, the director of the gallery probably wrote this phrase the editor of La Publicitat, since the illustration served as the cover of this newspaper on June 11, 1926, to echo the death of Gaud\u00ed a day earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
