Roberto Burle Marx Quotes

I Did A Salad, But I Didn't Do A Garden.

A Garden Is A Result Of An Arrangement Of Natural Materials According To Aesthetic Laws; Interwoven Throughout Are The Artist's Outlook On Life, His Past Experiences, His Affections, His Attempts, His Mistakes And His Successes.

A Garden Is A Complex Of Aesthetic And Plastic Intentions; And The Plant Is, To A Landscape Artist, Not Only A Plant - Rare, Unusual, Ordinary Or Doomed To Disappearance - But It Is Also A Color, A Shape, A Volume Or An Arabesque In Itself.
