The American landscape & Julius Shulman










Julius Shulman is the great grandfather of modern architectural photography and a recorder of early California modernism. Rizzoli shows, in "A Constructed View" how Shulman first documented the works of masters such as Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Oscar Niemeyer.. Architectural photography is particularly attractive when viewed in long series, like shots taken in a ghost town.
The US have the most photogenic history, over a century of stricking visual records of the country's evolving landscapes & people.
