Shulman reveals his vision of the world to us through the architecture of the International Style, a convenient label used to refer to the cubist manner in architecture in industrialised countries just before the second world war.
The phrase international style implies a universal approach favouring lightness, use of synthetic modern materials, standardisation and modular components, with a tendency toward flexibility with free floor plans and a preference for frame structures rather than masonry walls.
Julius Shulman’s artistic and cultural partnerships with some of the great masters of modern architecture produced images in which man and nature are strong presences, even if they are not revealed, to the point that we wonder whether it is Julius Shulman who is Richard Neutra’s photographer or Neutra who is Shulman’s architect.
