The modernist parks and gardens of Brazilian landscape architect and garden designer Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) earned him awards, widespread acclaim, and international fame. Over a 60-year career, he designed more than 2,000 gardens worldwide, the most famous of which are those he created in collaboration with the architect Oscar Niemeyer for Brasília. Although he is best known for his landscape work, Burle Marx was a prolific artist in a variety of media, and his largerbody of work--which includes paintings, drawings, tile mosaics, sculpture, textile design, jewelry, theater costumes, and more--is critical to understanding his importance as a modernist. An avid horticulturalist, he was among the first todenounce deforestation in the Amazon region; he also discovered over thirty species of Brazilian flora, which bear his name.
