Thank you! Nice color in the windows! I like figurative art but, on the other hand, with windows that height, you probably couldn’t tell what they depicted anyway. But it looks great and I love the way they are set in.
I saw a projection on a foreign news site of the completed exterior (with the windows, galleries, etc.) which is not expected to be finished for another few years, and it looked like it had a band of color around the middle because of the different tiers of windows. I don’t know if this is actually what it will look like, but it was certainly interesting.
I love the building and I am really looking forward to seeing the interior.
And Gaudi (for the info of other Freepers, the stress is on the last syllable) seems to have been a very saintly person. He lived in a little room in the basement on a handful of raisins and other barely edible things a day, and prayed constantly. His whole life was about beauty and about the elevation of everything to art. That was the essence of the movement: that the individual artist was not important, but that the work that glorified God through its beauty was the important thing, and this could be a painting, or it could be a mosaic floor, or it could be a gold chalice or an embroidered vestment - or a building and that contributed by all its builders.
