Book Description
In an ongoing search to carve their unique visions from the natural world, the artists and architects of the twentieth
century have transformed both our physical landscapes and the way we perceive outdoor space. This quest for harmony
between the natural and the manmade has yielded some of the most spectacular gardens ever created.
The Modern Garden is the first fully illustrated overview of the great gardens of the 20th century. It portrays hundreds of gardens, from the works of Geoffrey Jellicoe to Roberto Burle Marx, Russell Page to Dan Kiley, Isamu Noguchi to Richard Haag, created throughout the century and around the world.
