Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) was a Brazilian landscape painter and landscape designer. He fought for a city for everyone, also for those who could not afford an apartment with sea views.

An exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro recovers his fight to create quality public spaces for all social classes. The exhibition Living Place: the Legacy of BurleMarx focuses on 22 of his projects for public space, bringing together almost 100 objects from your personal file. The Brazilian changed roses for cacti, bromeliads, and hundreds of other species that he discovered throughout his life.
