Burle Marx and Abstract Art

Abstract

This article explores Roberto Burle Marx's work from its relations withthe Abstract Art, mainly based on the idea of “contamination” between the fields of architecture and  visual  arts.It  aims  to  draw  a parallel between Burle Marx's landscape projects and the abstract work of the artist Hans Arp.Its case study is the gardens of the Pampulha Art Museum, Belo Horizonte (MG). From the study carried out, it is concluded that  Burle Marx has in Arp a possible reference for  the biomorphic plans that appear  in the gardens.
