A book on modern architecture without Shulman is inconceivable. Some of his architectural photographs, like the iconic shots of Frank Lloyd Wright’s or Pierre Koenig’s remarkable structures, have been published countless times. The brilliance of buildings like those by Charles Eames, as well as those of his close friend, \u003ca class=\"keyword-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/richard-neutra\/\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"\/en\/collection\/richard-neutra\/\"\u003eRichard Neutra\u003c\/a\u003e, was first brought to light by Shulman’s photography. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered as an independent art form. Each Shulman image unites perception and understanding for the buildings and their place in the landscape. The precise compositions reveal not just the architectural ideas behind a building’s surface, but also the visions and hopes of an entire age. A sense of humanity is always present in his work, even when the human figure is absent from the actual photographs. Today, a great many of the buildings documented by Shulman have disappeared or been crudely converted, but the thirst for his pioneering images is stronger than ever before.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"read-more__biography--title\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" data-uw-rm-heading=\"level\"\u003eThe author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarbara Lamprecht\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer and teacher in architectural history, with a focus on modernism.
