| dc.description.abstract | Burle Marx was one of the most important landscape designers of the 20th century. His contribution to the qualification of several urban landscapes was extremely significant. He was an artist who knew exactly how to deal with lines (whether they were straight or curve, or even diagonal ones), contrast, harmony, proportion, rhythm, balance, color, tone, texture, mass, and any other artistic element or principle in order to create exuberant tropical compositions of vegetation under the light and a profusion of curious plastic designs on the floor. This personal skill evidenced his graduation in Art and his artistic eye in these tridimensional and spatial compositions. This paper aims to present and critically analyze the relevance and value of his work in the context of the urban space taking into account some of his main landscape projects in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, such as the Flamengo Park (Rio de Janeiro, 1954), the Garden of the Safra Bank (São Paulo, 1982), the gardens of Pampulha (in the 1940’s) and the Ibirapuera Park (São Paulo, 1953) – although the last one was never materialized in terms of those several gardens projected by the landscape designer. | |
