Julius Shulman (American, b. 1910)

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1910, Julius Shulman is a photographer of architecture, naturalist, educator, and commentator on urban form. One of the leading architectural photographers of the 20th century, Shulman developed close association with Modernist architects, principally those active in Southern California such as Gregory Ain, John Lautner, Richard Neutra, and R.M. Schindler. Shulman’s work played a major role in crafting the image of the Los Angeles and “Southern California” lifestyle to the rest of the nation and world during the 1950s and 1960s. A prolific author, consultant, lecturer, exhibitor, and editor of his own vast archive, Shulman remains active in the first decade of the 21st century.
