520 _aModern garden design spans over a century, beginning in the Victorian era and continuing into the age of Land Art. This varied survey, from Europe to South America, and Japan to the United States, covers the work of many garden and landscape designers whose names are familiar both to lovers and scholars of the modern garden, including Robinson, Jekyll, Jensen, Farrand, Sessions, Mawson, Church, Sorensen and Jellicoe. It traces the revolutionary changes brought about in the postwar period by the Harvard Rebels - Eckbo, Rose and Killey - and examines the impact of Noguchi, Burle Marx and Barragan, among others, as well as the powerful international influence of Scandinavian landscape architects and designers. The garden city is also given close attention, from its beginning in late Victorian Britain, through the Greenbelt Towns in the American Midwest, to the latest regeneration of urban centres worldwide." "A long line of artists and architects of international renown have also earned a place in the history of the modern garden: Monet, Le Corbusier, Mondrian, Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Gaudi, among others. Land artists, such as Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, Patricia Johanson and Kathryn Gustafson in the US, and Richard Long, Andy Goldsworthy, Charles Jencks and Ian Hamilton Finlay in the UK, have brought new ways of thinking about landscape and the garden into the twenty-first century.
