ANTONIO GAUDI, BY GEORGE R. COLLINS |

"Plate 13. View of 'El Capricho' at Comillas (Santander) 1883-85. Its bright greens and warm brick hues merge with the vegetation of the family park. Martorell's pantheon-chapel can be seen in the background." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins
"Plate 14. Detail of the ceramic and iron work of the tower of 'El Capricho.' This gallery and the top lookout above it command a spectacular view of the Bay of Biscay, over the town of Comillas in front." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 15. Unexecuted project for a neo-Gothic chapel in Alella (northeast of Barcelona). Signed and dated by Gaudi (July 1883), it resembles the chapels that he designed for the crypt of the Sagrada Familia church." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 16. Facade of the Nativity of the Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, carried out between about 1890 and 1930. It rises from a neo-Gothic base, through Art Nouveau portals to Cubist pinnacles." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 17. Detail of the Nativity transept of the Sagrada Familia church and adjacent cloister roofs. An underlying Gothic structure was here overlaid with fluid decorations as his ideas evolved between 1891 and 1903. Some of the figure sculpture is restoration following the destruction of 1936-39." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 18. Architectural drawing of a pinnacle of the Sagrada Familia church. Front, side and back views with five sections drawn at points A, B, C, D, and E. Note the hole for searchlight installation two-thirds of the way up." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
