The next best thing to actually spending a day with late photographer Julius Shulman, is virtually spending a day with him -- which is possible with Eric Bricker's documentary: Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman. Peppered with Shulman's quips and anecdotes (and a bit of gossip) about some of architecture's most iconic figures, Visual Acoustics is a marvelous refresher course on the subject of modernism.
Thanks for posting this.
I have a question...
At the Kaufman house, were the lawns part of what Neutra designed? Why would you put a lawn in the desert? Did Frey ever do this? How fun it must have been to be the "archeologist" with not only access to the site, but to the original documents.
I would like to see a documentary dedicated to the Kaufman restoration. I'd also like to see one on the Rudolph Schindler's house.
