Roberto Burle Marx


Influential 20th century Brazilian landscape architect
Following up on our post yesterday about contemporary Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, we have complied some links to websites that feature images of his works. One of the sites is in Portuguese and another in German, and both of those are somewhat difficult to navigate, but the effort is well worth while. Unfortunately, there are few images on the Burle Marx firm website (Burle Marx & Cia. continues today lead by Marx's partner Haruyoshi Ono who joined the firm in 1968), but there is a little bit of history.
"Roberto Burle Marx is internationally known as one of the most important landscape architects of the 20th century.

"An artist of multiple facets, besides being a landscape designer he was also a remarkable painter, sculptor, singer, and jewelry designer, with a sensibility that is shown throughout his work."

Firm: Burle Marx & Cia.
Visit: Sítio Roberto Burle Marx (via Maria Brazil)
Link: Burle Marx (via Brazil Gov't - Secretaria de Estado da Fazenda do EspĂ­rito Santo)
Link: Roberto Burle Marx: The Missing Link (via Hannes Loipetsberger thesis website)
Reference: Roberto Burle Marx: The Lyrical Landscape (L+L)

Burle Marx is perhaps best know for his work in Brazil's modern capital, Brasilia.

arte e paisagem
Posted by hugo on 10/5/2006 3:24:00 PM

there is an excelent book with some of burle marx speeches called "Art and Landscape" ("Arte e Paisagem"). It is very elucidative about his work.
It was released by Nobel editions in 1987. Unfortunately, i am not sure it is available except in used books stores.

Realzando las virtudas Latinoamericanas!
Posted by Maria Fernanda on 11/22/2007 2:37:00 AM

Hola, estoy estudiando en alemania y debo hacer una presentacion sobre la obra de Burle Marx. Soy latinoamericana y me gusta presentar temas de nuestra region para realzar su imagen. En este caso fue una propuesta del Profesor mostrar la vida y obra de este fantastico Paisijista, lo cual me enorgullese. Si tienen fotos de sus obras (paisajismo) y/o informacion sobre que lo motivaba estaria super agradecida. mafehp@cantv.net

Posted by Bonnie Goodman on 1/21/2008 12:00:00 PM

I came across some jewelry that has the name Burle Marx on them with numbers and I was wondering if who the designer was and what, if any other pieces he had. If anyone can tell me please e-mail me at kgbgoodman@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Bonnie Goodman

wish the africans would learn from him
Posted by janet on 4/12/2008 2:57:00 AM

Burle's works are an inspiration that am sure we in Africa feel. The works viewed in whichever sense(paintings or in Print) are interesting and they remind us of our beautiful lands that we should embrace entirely here in Africa!
