This book, Modernism Rediscovered, brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. It brings together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, showcasing the lesser-known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It is like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated.

The buildings that burned in our memories, representing the spirit of 50s and 60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books. However, what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication? The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser-known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It's like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.
