The green gardens of the twentieth century are often variations on earlier green gardens, but there have been innovations. The modernist movement in art and architecture inspired a modernist movement in garden design, especially in the United States. Modernist gardens were characterized by paved areas which were often inspired by cubist paintings. The planted areas were designed as simple textures, usually composed out of one kind of evergreen groundcover. In these gardens, as in formal parterres, the pattern was much more important than the plants. At the end of the twentieth century, this style has evolved into gardens composed out of paved areas and ornamental grasses.
