Julius Shulman (born on October 10th, 1910 in Brooklyn, NY) is an American architectural photographer. In fact, it was his work that established architectural photography as an independent art form. Focusing on Californian modernism, Shulman’s books and exhibitions precisely portrait the architectural post war movement and spread its spirit around the world. His iconic images of structures built by Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles & Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, his close friend Richard Neutra and many others impress with an unmatched visual clarity and precise composition. The 2008 documenary “Visual Acoustics” not only explores the life and work of Julius Shulman, it also reveals that his exceptional work shaped the careers of the famous Modernist architects.
