Synopsis:
Robert Hughes returns to Spain to explore the legacy of Antoni
Gaudi, the last great cathedral builder of the 20th century.
Gaudi was an intensely Catholic celibate who, despite his austere
life, created some of the most sensuous buildings ever known. On
his journey through Gaudi's life and work, Hughes (an ex-Catholic
himself) explains how a man as religious and conservative as Gaudi
could become such an innovative 20th-century giant.
