Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx’s modernist and avant- garde style of design was influenced by cubism and abstraction, using large blocks of color, abstract shapes and asymmetry to create living works of art. Like his gardens, his paintings celebrate the native flora of Brazil through bold color palettes and contain flowing pathways that guide the viewer through the work. Roberto Burle Marx (Brazilian, 1909 – 1994), “Carnival Tree,” 1989. Acrylic on canvas, 50 × 62 × 1 5/8 inches. Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia; Gift of Robert and Dale (D.G.) Jaeger. 2025.4.
