22 September 2009 ~ The Lion & the Cardinal by Daniel Mitsui



JOSEP MARIA JUJOL


Sanctuary of Montserrat in Montferri

Dennis L. Dollins:
With a prevailing liberal government and a semiofficial architecture of modernism, Jujol was in a poor position to compete for or receive municipal work. And with the Church under heavy criticism, at times literally under attack, few works were chanelled to an architect whose monogram incorporated a cross and who has asserted his religious dedication. Once he told a student: You're lucky to have a t in your name. That way, every time you write your signature, you can make a cross without anybody asking why.
[Josep Maria Jujol: Five Major Buildings by Dennis L. Dollens. SITES, 1994]
