Julius Shulman's long career photographing great architectural
works with depth, passion, drama, and an instinct for the
architect's intentions has ensured his present status as one of
the world's preeminent architectural photographers. His
eloquent photos interpreting the structures of Richard Neutra and
other early modernists helped the viewing public to understand
these revolutionary buildings, and brought prominence to modernist
practitioners who might otherwise have been considered eccentric.
Frank Lloyd Wright once said that no better photos had ever been
taken of Taliesin West than those by Shulman. Photographing
Architecture and Interiors, published in 1962, is Shulman's
first book, and he still considers it to be his most genuine
reflection on the profession and on his own artistic philosophy.
This title is an exact reprint of that now-classic publication. All
of Shulman's famous photographs have here been reproduced from
original prints, giving the images a crispness and luminosity not
seen even in the 1962 edition. The introduction by Richard Neutra,
perhaps Shulman's most important client and avid supporter, has
been preserved; also included is a new foreword by Shulman himself.
