The Modern Garden
by Jane Brown
ISBN 9781568982380

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 twentieth century. It portrays hundreds of gardens, from the works of Geoffrey Jellicoe to Robert Burle Marx, Russell Page to Dan Kiley, Isamu Noguchi to Richard Haag, created throughout the century and around the world. Twelve "masterwork" gardens are explored in special detail; photographed in spectacular color and supplemented by never-before-seen historical images, they come alive in this beautifully produced volume.

Jane Brown has written books on garden design and twentieth-century culture, including Gardens of a Golden Afternoon, The Pursuit of Paradise and The English Garden.
