Roberto Burle Marx (August 4, 1909 – June 4, 1994) was a Brazilian landscape architect (as well as a painter, print maker, ecologist, naturalist, artist and musician) whose designs of parks and gardens made him world-famous. He is accredited with having introduced modernist landscape architecture to Brazil. He was known as a modern nature artist and a public urban space designer. His work had a great influence on tropical garden design in the 20th century. Water gardens were a popular theme in his work. He was deftly able to transfer traditional artistic expressions such as graphic design, tapestry and folk art into his landscape designs. He also designed fabrics, jewellery and stage sets.

The author's preface occupies pp. [11]65. This is followed, pp. [69][95], by extracts from reviews which appeared in Brazil and Portugal including Christovam Ayres, writing in the Diário de notícias, Lisboa, Rocha Martins in Os Fantoches, Lisboa, Artur Portela in O Diário de Lisboa, Bourbon e Menezes in O mundo, Lisboa, Aquilino Ribeiro in O Diário de Lisboa, and Garcia Perez in the Lisbon review De Teatro. The play itself occupies pp. [103]184. The final unnumbered leaves contain a "Carta a Lucilia Simões", and the text of a letter of protest, addressed to the the Prime Minister and the Interior Minister. Among the 53 signatories were Fernando Pessoa, Raul Brandão, António Sergio, Norberto de Araujo, Raul Proença, Aquilino Ribeiro, Jaime Cortesão, João de Barros, Alfredo Cortez, Artur Portela, Christovam Ayres (Filho), Augusto de Santa Rita, Eduardo Malta, Mário Saa, Leal de Câmara, José Pacheco, André Brun, and Luiz de Montalvor. The letter was never delivered, as due to pressure from friends in parliament, the prohibition of the play was lifted (though it did not reopen, due to "other commitments" on the part of the Lucinda Simões company). António [Joaquim Tavares] Ferro (18951956), poet, journalist, "literary man of action" and politician, was a friend of such noted Modernists as Fernando Pessoa, Mário de Sá-Carneiro and Almada Negreiros, and was the editor of the periodical Orpheu, which inaugurated the Portuguese Modernist movement in 1915; he was one of the first to "discover" Fernando Pessoa. He also contributed to the modernist review Exílio, as well as to the more eclectic Contemporânea. Ferro participated in the Semana da Arte Moderna in São Paulo, and contributed a futurist manifesto to the Brazilian modernist review Klaxon. A journalist of international stature whose pieces were usually controversial, he interviewed, among others, D'Annunzio, Pius XI, Mussolini, Clémenceau, Maurras, Alfonso XIII, Primo de Rivera, and Poincaré. In 1925 he founded an avant-garde theater, the Teatro Novo, and in 1936 established the Teatro do Povo, intended to give dramatic performances in the furthest reaches of Portugal. For many years (beginning in 1933) he directed the Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional, where he helped to define the "política de espírito." Ferro was married to the noted poet Fernanda de Castro. *** On António Ferro, see Paula Costa in Machado, ed., Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, p. 194; João Bigotte Chorão in Biblos, II, 5556; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 4834; Rebello, 100 anos de teatro português pp. 745; Grande enciclopedia.
