Shulman, etc.

Shulman seems to see modernism as exuberant, not austere. His most famous picture, which shows two elegantly dressed women sitting in a glass-walled house by the architect Pierre Koenig, cantilevered over the lights of Los Angeles, is to mid-century modernism what Monet’s paintings are to Gothic cathedrals. He doesn’t like the way most architectural photographers shoot empty buildings. “Why is there such a fear of using people?” he said. “Richard Neutra was always furious if I used people in pictures of his houses—he was afraid they would overpower the architecture. But my photographs show babies and cats and dogs and children. Why not? It makes it interesting to connect it with the life.”
