The Modernism of Julius Shulman

Visual Acoustics is a great film about one of my favorite architectural photographers who really put modernism on the map from a visual perspective. Julius Shulman created one of the most famous signature images of Los Angeles when he photographed Case Study House #22, shown above. He spent his life photographing more than 8,000 projects designed by architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Nuetra, and Frank Gehry. I saw the movie when it came through Denver, and basically if you’re into architecture, building, and or photography it’s a film you shouldn’t miss. You can get it now on DVD through the Visual Acoustics Store along with some other great items.

I should also mention that the Director Eric Bricker did an outstanding job on this film. His story and relationship with Julius was really unique and it comes out in the film.
