JULIUS SHULMAN – 80 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
2011-09-26This show will include not only his well-known photographs of works by architects such as Neutra, Koenig, Lautner, Frey, and Eames but also early images from Shulman’s personal files.
Julius Shulman is widely regarded as the most important architectural photographer in history. Over a seventy year career Shulman not only documented the work of many of the great architects of the 20th century, but he elevated the genre of commercial architectural photography to a fine art form. It is illuminating to recognize the simple fact that the work of architects such as Neutra, Koenig, and Lautner are virtually known all over the world through the images and perspective of Julius Shulman. As Neutra astutely observed, “His work will survive me. Film is stronger and good glossy prints are easier to ship than brute concrete, stainless steel, or even ideas.”
