Our day started out as it always does, girls getting coffee from the restaurant below us, someone’s subway pass not working, and a 15-minute subway ride to meet up with Cheryl. As we walked with Cheryl to Casa Batlló you could automatically tell the building we were going into by the architecture and the description we got from our tour guide, Sandra, the night before. The building is truly built in Gaudi fashion. Casa Batlló is one of many buildings in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi used the sea as a point of inspiration for this building. He used glass windows, curved lines, and specific colors to give the building an underwater feel. “I enjoyed how Gaudi incorporated nature into the architecture,” said Alexa Kinnison, “The curved lines and cool colors mimicked the ocean which I thought was really refreshing.” You will find no straight lines in this building because they are all curved like ocean waves.

Sandra explained that this is when Picasso really began to gain popularity with the upper class because it was so different from the “cupcake and happy” paintings of Monet, Renoir, and other impressionist painters. Sandra also emphasized that Picasso “captured the psychology of the character in the painting” rather than just having a painting of the form, he was able to portray what was happening

    Picasso was exiting his Blue Period and entering into the Rose Period of his art. (Pablo Picasso’s Rose Period). Martin purposely picked this time period in order to create a multitude of clever jokes hidden within the text as commentaries on the period. For instance, Picasso is talking about a vision of his art and “leaving blue behind”, after which he orders a Rose to drink. This is yet another example of the wondrous mind Martin possesses, to make such an intelligent joke so subtly takes an advanced comedic mind.

    Inside, rather than providing the order and simplicity that the modernists worshipped, Venturi’s design chose to surprise people with its contradictions. The interior design played with concepts of scale, with an oversized fireplace, and an undersized stairway which leads to nowhere. While the Vanna Venturi house is widely considered to be the first postmodern building, Robert Venturi insists he wasn’t trying to create a new movement. Maybe it was just ‘art’ and that “sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.” (Robert Venturi, wttw.com).
