Language: Collection material is in English Biographical/Historical Note Throughout his long career, photographer Julius Shulman created one of the most comprehensive visual chronologies of modern architecture and the development of the Los Angeles region. Shulman was born October 10, 1910 in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Los Angeles, California in 1920. Throughout the 1930s Shulman used an Eastman Kodak Vest-Pocket camera to photograph historical locations in Los Angeles. In 1936 he photographed Richard J. Neutra's Kun House (Los Angeles, Calif.) and was subsequently asked by Neutra to photograph some of his other projects. Through his relationship with Neutra he was able to secure other architectural photography commissions, documenting the work of such prolific architects as R.M. Schindler, Raphael Soriano, Gregory Ain, J.R. Davidson, John Lautner and Pierre Koenig, as well as many others. Shulman frequently worked with such writers and editors as Esther [Tobey] McCoy, John Entenza, Dan MacMasters, and Barbara Lenox. While he also produced product and furniture photographs for designers, he is most acclaimed for his iconic images of mid-century modern buildings including the Case Study houses of Southern California. Shulman's photographs have been widely published, and he produced several monographs about his work, including: Photography of Architecture and Design: Photographing Buildings, Interiors, and the Visual Arts (1977), Architecture and its Photography (1998), Photographing Architecture and Interiors (2000), and Malibu: A Century of Living by the Sea (2005). Over the years Shulman became known as a strong proponent of modernist architecture and his photographs trained the spotlight on the architects whose work he featured. He received the American Institute of Architects Architectural Photography Medal in 1969 and was made an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects in 1987. After a brief retirement in 1986, Shulman returned to work as a photographer and accepted assignments well into the 21st century. Julius Shulman died in his home at the age of 98 on July 15, 2009.

Shulman's photography highlights the important relationship between architect and photographer through his strong grasp of design philosophy and his aesthetic sensibility. Series II. Architects, is rich in the projects by California-based architects such as Richard J. Neutra, R.M. Schindler, Raphael Soriano, Gregory Ain, J.R. Davidson, John Lautner and Pierre Koenig. The architects in series II. were intensively documented by Shulman and were separated out from his other projects for ease of access. Particularly noteworthy in this sereis are the photographs of Richard J. Neutra's Kaufmann House (Palm Springs, Calif.) or John Lautner's Chemosphere (Los Angeles, Calif.). Series III. Projects includes documentaion of the Case Study House Program, sponsored by Arts and Architecture and John Entenza.

While the bulk of the collection documents architectural projects, also included are product and furniture photographs for designers and other photographs relating to commercial products such as those produced by the United States Gypsum Co. and the Libbey Owens Ford Glass Company.

Click here for the finding aid for Series IV. Series V. Display photographs is comprised of large format prints mounted on board or foam core. The display photographs were used by Shulman for exhibiting and publicity purposes.

Quincy Jones, Mies van der Rohe, and Oscar Niemeyer, as well as images of gas stations, shopping malls, storefronts, and apartment buildings.

    NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES SAMPLE APPLICATION NARRATIVE _________________________________________________________ Grants to Preserve and Create Access to Humanities Collections In stitution: University of California – Santa Barbara THE MODERN HOUSE AND GARDEN IN CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES: PRESERVING AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE MAYNARD L. PARKER PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Huntington Library seeks funding to arrange, preserve and describe the architectural and garden archive of Maynard L. Parker (1900-1976). For more than three decades beginning in 1935, Parker photographed notable residences, buildings, and gardens in California and across the United States for a client roster that included the leading publishers, architects, and designers of the era. The Parker Collection is comprised of nearly 90 linear feet of material, and includes approximately 80,000 film negatives and color transparencies, 17 document boxes of ledger books, invoices, correspondence, and loose photographs, and 35 project presentation albums. The Parker Collection is the intact archive of an important American photographer who documented tastes and trends in building and interiors in the modern era of design. Once arranged and made accessible, the collection’s vast holdings –representing both iconic and little-known architectural and landscape sites—will offer humanities scholars, designers, local historians, students, and the interested public an unparalleled opportunity to study the aesthetics of an important period in United States history. Consistent inquiries regarding the archive’s use drive this proposal. The collection is haphazardly arranged, improperly housed, and poorly identified, making access extremely difficult. Despite these limitations (and with virtually no publicity), the Parker Collection has garnered significant research interest and has been consulted for numerous book, exhibition, and restoration projects.
