AB This article examines how the work of Robert E. Marvin was influenced by the traditional values of his Southern identity and context, the Southeastern regional landscape, and the evolving ideas of twentieth-century design in landscape architecture. By incorporating these attributes into his work, Marvin was able to achieve a new landscape aesthetic that was recognizable, repeatable, and often emulated. He influenced a generation of design professionals and has had lasting influence on values and aesthetics in the Southeastern landscape.
