Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism
The Roberto Burle Marx Foundation hosted an exclusive evening reception at the Royal Academy to celebrate the landmark exhibition Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism, which features significant works by Roberto Burle Marx alongside ten other important Brazilian modernist artists. The event brought together art collectors, cultural leaders, landscape architects, and environmental advocates to experience the vivid artistic legacy of one of Brazil's most innovative creators.
During the reception, Foundation Chair, Andréa Burle Webb, introduced the organisation's mission to preserve and promote Roberto Burle Marx's contributions to landscape architecture, art, and environmental conservation. The evening featured inspiring speeches from His Excellency Antonio Patriota, Brazilian Ambassador to the UK, His Grace the Duke of Rutland, and Alexander Burle Webb, Burle Marx's great-nephew.
