Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist

«A landscape architect should be able to understand Picasso and Miró», proclaimed Roberto Burle Marx. In cooperation with the Jewish Museum in New York the KunstHalle is showing a large retrospective of the Brazilian Modernist. His parks and squares in Rio de Janeiro recall abstract paintings with their curving and Cubist ground plans.

The exhibition introduces the comprehensive and diverse work of Burle Marx which inspired generations. This is shown by works of current artists such as Paloma Bosquê, Nick Mauss and Beatriz Milhazes, who are also represented in the exhibition.

After the presentation at the Jewish Museum in New York and at the KunstHalle in Berlin the exhibition will travel to the Museu de Arte do Rio in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
