About This Item
Berkeley, California: University of California Press, 2001. Hardcover. VG+, VG-, jacket has small tear at top spine and lower front cover.. Green cloth boards, green DJ with color illustration. 208 pp. Profusely in color. From the book jacket: One of the most influential landscape and garden designers of the twentieth century, Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1993) has inspired generations of gardens around the world. His sweeping forms and painterly approach to planting were revolutionary when they first came to public attention in the 1930s, and many contemporary designs today owe his vision a great debt. The core of the book is twenty-six projects, presented through plans--some redrawn from Marx's now vanished or ruined originals--specially commissioned photographs, planting schemes, and some of Burle Marx's own paintings. An extensive reference section includes an exhaustive chronology and bibliography. This tribute to an acknowledged master of modern design is destined to inspire gardens and landscape design for years to come.
