Roberto Burle Marx (1909-94) was a Brazilian polymath whose highest calling was designing landscapes, most famously the mosaic path that swirls along two miles of Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro. “Brazilian Modern: The Living Art of Roberto Burle Marx,” at the New York Botanical Garden, includes paintings, drawings, and textiles, but its fragrant centerpiece is an immersive tropical oasis (pictured), designed in homage to Burle Marx by his American protégé, Raymond Jungles. On view through Sept. 29.
