Book Review: Julius Shulman Los Angeles
By Josh Stephens on 27 August 2011 - 7:37pmJulius Shulman's most famous image—in which disaffected young women in cocktail dresses float above Los Angeles—marks the end of the American experiment as well as does any other gesture in arts and letters. The steel-and-glass jewelbox embodies the equal measures of disappointment and satisfaction that come with a destination reached. After all those decades of toiling across the frontier conclude at the Pacific, the American landscape is complete, its architecture is refined to its sparest elements.
