Julius Shulman Landscape Photography

American, 1910-2009

Julius Shulman was an American architectural photographer best known for his photograph Case Study House #22 (Two Girls), Los Angeles, CA (Pierre Koenig, Architect, 1959). The house is also known as the Stahl House. Shulman's photography spread California's mid-century modernism around the world. Through his many books, exhibits and personal appearances his work ushered in a new appreciation for the movement beginning in the 1990s.

Shulman’s vast library of images currently resides at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. His contemporaries include Ezra Stoller and Hedrich Blessing Photographers. In 1947, Julius Shulman asked architect Raphael Soriano to build a mid-century steel home and studio in the Hollywood Hills.

Some of Shulman's 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 friends, Richard Neutra and Raphael Soriano, was first brought to light by Shulman's photography. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered an independent art form

Each Shulman image unites perception and understanding of 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.

Many of the buildings photographed by Shulman have since been demolished or re-purposed, lending to the popularity of his images.

American photographer Julius Shulman’s images of Californian architecture have burned themselves into the retina of the 20th century. 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, Richard Neutra, 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...

Italian GP Richie Ginther waits beside his Honda RA273 as mechanics work on the engine. Image details Championship: Formula 1 1966 (Formula 1, 1966) Event: Italian GP Date taken: Sunday, September 04, 1966 Location: Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Italy Photographer: Rainer Schlegelmilch Rainer W. Schlegelmilch the German born widely regarded "Master of Motorsports Photography" delighted in this series of works Glamour, kitsch, sex and fast cars - this extraordinary body of work encapsulates the excitement of this era. Limited edition to 150 only - Archive stamped and numbered - with certificate of authenticity Oversize 24 x 24" inches / 61 x 61 cm paper size C type print unframed. Beautiful. About Richie Ginther & Honda BRM and Honda In 1962, Ginther switched to the British-based BRM team to race alongside Graham Hill. The highlight of his time at BRM was finishing equal-second (with Hill) in the 1963 World Championship. Ginther scored more points than his British teammate over the whole season, but only a driver's six best scores were counted towards the championship. His reputation as a solid "team player" and excellent test and development driver earned him an invitation to join the works Honda F1 team for 1965, for whom he scored his one and only GP win, at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. The win was also Honda's first in Formula 1. Ginther averaged 151.7 kilometres per hour (94.3 mph) over the curving 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) track in the 65 lap Mexico City event. His speed eclipsed the previous course record of 150.185 km/h (93.321 mph) established by Dan Gurney in 1964. It was the first time Honda had entered the Mexican Grand Prix.[22] Honda reentered international competition in the 1966 Italian Grand Prix. The team was three years old and had encountered difficulty in the preparation of a larger engine. Ginther led in Italy before his car crashed into a retaining wall and he broke his collarbone.[23] He signed with the Eagle F1 team in 1967 and raced in the Race of Champions. At Monaco after practice, his place on the grid was given to an F2 car weighted to bring it up to minimum F1 specifications, and Ginther left F1 in disgust. Ginther won one race, achieved 14 podiums, and scored a total of 107 championship points. He appeared in an uncredited role in the 1966 film Grand Prix as John Hogarth, a driver in the Japanese funded "Yamura" team. He also acted as one of the technical racing advisors for the movie. While making an attempt to qualify for the 1967 Indy 500, Ginther broke a fuel line in his American Eagle Indy Car...
