Where it came from
Published in 1974 by Lemos Editorial e Gráficos, this monograph serves as a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted career of Roberto Burle Marx, the visionary Brazilian landscape architect and artist. The book was produced during a period when international recognition of Burle Marx’s contribution to modernism was peaking, as he moved away from European garden traditions to champion the use of indigenous tropical flora and abstract, painterly forms in public spaces.
The volume captures the synergy between Burle Marx’s roles as a botanist, painter, and designer. It documents his signature fluid, biomorphic shapes and his bold implementation of color and texture in projects ranging from the Copacabana promenade to botanical gardens. The text provides scholarly insight into his philosophy of 'living canvases,' offering a historical record of how he reshaped the mid-century landscape architecture canon through ecological sensitivity and artistic rigor.
