Video: Julius Schulman documentary

View Visual Acoustics: the Modernism of Julius Schulman

Intimate, insightful and aesthetically astute - Schulman’s unique photographic depictions of buildings by the likes of Frank Gehry, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe were key in Modernism’s stellar ascension to 20th century architectural dominance.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman and directed by Eric Bricker, ‘Visual Acoustics’ is as concerned with Schulman’s work as it is with the man himself – a dedicated humanist and architectural advocate up until his death earlier this year. Bricker’s exposé provides a fitting epitaph for this art-world monolith. One to watch.
