The photography of Julius Shulman (1910-2009) transported a West
Coast dream around the world. His images of midcentury Southern
Californian architecture captured not only the distinctive
structural, functional, and design elements of a building but also
the context of its surroundings and inhabitants in a holistic,
evocative sense of lifestyle. Over time, Shulman's talents would
take him around the world, steadily crafting one of the most
compelling chronologies of modern architecture. Offering an immense
cultural cache for an even lower price, this fresh edition of
TASCHEN's Modernism Rediscovered features over 400 architectural
treasures from the Shulman archives. Each project and photograph
was personally selected from over 260,000 photographs by publisher
Benedikt Taschen, who enjoyed a close relationship with Shulman and
his work since first publishing Julius Shulman: Architecture and
Its Photography (1998). Documenting the reach of modernist
aesthetics, the projects span not only the West Coast but also the
rest of the United States, as well as Mexico, Israel, and Hong
Kong, all captured with Shulman's characteristic understanding of
space and situation, as well as his brilliant and intuitive sense
of composition. The pictures are contextualized with an
introduction by photography critic Owen Edwards, an extensive
biography by University of Southern California historian Philip J.
Ethington, captions on decorative elements by Los Angeles Modern
Auctions founder Peter Loughrey, and biographies of key architects.
In addition, the book includes personal reflections from Shulman
himself, with an oral history and portrait of the period crafted
via months of interviews with arts writer Hunter Drohojowska-Philp.
