Julius Shulman's (American, b. 1910) images of modernist Californian architecture are iconic emblems of the 20th century. Shulman's oeuvre demanded that architectural photography be considered as an independent art form, of which Shulman is the indisputable master. Shulman's photographic clarity reveals not just the architectural ideas behind a building's structure, but also captures the spirit of the era.

Julius Shulman began to exhibit his photographs in a fine art context in 1990. Recent exhibitions have included the J. Paul Getty Museum, with upcoming shows in Munich and London. In addition to Julius Shulman's work being widely published in architectural books, Taschen recently published a three-volume monograph of his work, "Modernism Rediscovered."

In 1998, the International Center of Photography in New York awarded Julius Shulman the Lifetime Achievement award. Less
