Las Pozas, Xilitla was the creation of Edward James, the eccentric English poet and artist, and patron of the Surrealist movement. Its origins date back to 1947 when Edward, living in semi exile in Mexico, acquired the coffee plantation near Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, - now known as Las Pozas - registering it in the name of his friend and guide Plutarco Gastelum, who would later become the foreman and overseer of all construction there. For the next ten years Edward used “Las Pozas” to plant orchids and as a home for exotic animals. After a unprecedented frost in 1962 destroyed many of the orchids, Edward started building the extraordinary sculpture garden we see today. The design of "Las Pozas" was inspired both by his orchids and the vegetation of the Huastecan jungle combined with architectural elements taken from the Surrealist movement he was so closely involved with.
在叢林裡建造這麼一座超現實風格的花園,實屬不易,据說走進 Las Pozas (意即 the pool) garden 裡,彷彿走進夢幻神奇的仙境,會讓人留連忘返,忘却時間的流逝.雖然一座座的混凝土雕塑都是超現實的風格,但最後一張圖的建 ...公仔箱論壇! Z- C. y% w, S9 s1 L
