I just had to take a photo of this painting to show how perfectly the artist captured a three-dimensional look. You really had to get within three inches to tell that there's no texture to it, which is pretty remarkable considering it was about a four foot canvas.
Just posting a few from the OKCMOA Free Family day. An event that Sonic sponsored and allowed everyone who came free entry for the day. In addition they had activities and a short film festival. The rest of the set can be found at PhotosbyJustinWaits
Caught at that spontaneous moment just after a regular portrait. I knew Erica from the OKCMOA, but Dylan was a new face. And a great one to meet!

For those of you who have expressed an interest in visiting OK and its architecture, this would be the perfect opportunity. There will be some great opening weekend events, including an architectural tour, a panel discussion about Modernism, and a book signing by Shulman himself (health permitting).
Here's more information about Shulman and the exhibit (and now you know why I haven't posted much lately -- trying to get the word out about this!):
Julius Shulman: Oklahoma Modernism Rediscovered
Photography exhibit presented exclusively at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art
Oklahoma City, OK—Organized by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA), Julius Shulman: Oklahoma Modernism Rediscovered is the first-ever retrospective of photographs taken in Oklahoma by legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman. The exhibit runs from April 30 through June 7 and will feature over 65 images – many unseen by the public for decades – of buildings designed by such world-renowned architects as Bruce Goff, Herb Greene, William Caudill, Truett Coston, Robert Roloff, and Paul Harris. Twenty-one architectural projects from six Oklahoma cities and towns will be represented in the exhibition, including homes, banks, churches, museums and hospitals.
“When several of Julius Shulman’s Oklahoma photographs began appearing in the recently published books of his work, a handful of passionate local collectors reached out to him about the possibility of exhibiting this virtually unseen work. Mr. Shulman was very enthusiastic about his work in Oklahoma and agreed to work with our Museum to develop this special exhibition in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute. We believe these extraordinary images stand alone as photographic works of art while celebrating Oklahoma’s unique architectural heritage,” stated curator Brian Hearn.
Perhaps best known for his iconic photographs of Los Angeles' Case Study houses and of Palm Springs architecture, Shulman's incredible body of work includes more than 70,000 images. Now archived at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, Shulman’s photographs encompass a 70-year-and-counting career that includes thousands of images of buildings that would have been likely overlooked by the architectural world had he not photographed them.
Throughout his long career, Shulman often ventured inland from his base in California to explore the modernism movement in other regions of the United States. During these trips, which spanned over 30 years, he frequently stopped in Oklahoma and photographed some of the state's most innovative modern architecture. The long, low lines and bold forms of mid-century architecture were an especially good fit when placed against the backdrop of Oklahoma's flat plains and vast, often mercurial skies, and Shulman's lens dramatically captured this symbiotic relationship in images of Greene's "Prairie Chicken" House, Goff's Bavinger House, and Roloff's State Capitol Bank, among others.
Last September, with support from the University of Oklahoma's Bruce Goff Chair of Creative Architecture, Mr. Shulman returned to Oklahoma for the first time in many years to lecture at the University of Oklahoma School of Architecture and ArtSpace at Untitled. During his lecture he observed that “Some of the great memories of my life of photography I did in Oklahoma City and all throughout the state. Oklahoma had, and still has I’m sure, many geniuses who were able to create remarkable buildings. Look at the wealth of architecture in Oklahoma. There is a richness to the architecture of Oklahoma that the public hasn’t seen for years.”
Indeed, Shulman's stunning Oklahoma photographs – and his tenacity in getting them published in national magazines – brought much-deserved attention to the Sooner State and helped launch the careers of Greene, Robert Alan Bowlby, Conner & Pojezny, Murray-Jones-Murray, and other area architects and firms. “I am blessed. I can see architecture in a way that even the architects themselves don’t recognize their own buildings,” remarked Mr. Shulman. “Our mission in this world is to convey information about architecture to the public, to make our lives better for our children.”
As he approaches the century mark, Julius Shulman has himself become an icon in the architectural world, and this exhibit celebrates his incredible life and career. In addition, it pays tribute to the visionary architects whose designs continue to be appreciated and admired today.
SUPPORT AND PROGRAMS
On opening weekend, the OKCMOA will host a series of related events, beginning on Thursday, April 30, with 98-year-old Shulman scheduled to attend a booksigning and to discuss his career and impressions of Oklahoma architecture. There also will be premiere screenings in the Noble Theater throughout the weekend of Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, Eric Bricker's critically acclaimed documentary film about Shulman's amazing career and his associations with some of the world's most influential twentieth-century architects. After the film's debut on Thursday at 7:30pm, Bricker will be on hand to lead a discussion of Shulman's career and the making of the film.
In addition, on Saturday, May 2, the Museum will sponsor an architectural bus tour of several Oklahoma City-area buildings that Shulman photographed during the years he worked in Oklahoma. The weekend will culminate on Sunday with a panel discussion after the 2pm film screening with area architects and historians about the history of modern architecture in Oklahoma and the future of modernism.

Who wants to win tickets to director Terence Davies' "Sunset Song" showing at 8:30 pm this Saturday, May 28? Just tag a friend in the comments below and like the pic! Falling right into place among Davies' other exquisite films, "Sunset Song" is a beautiful portrayal of a young, Scottish woman, Chris (Agyness Deyn), searching for identity, experiencing a passionate love and having to decide between a future in her Scottish homelands or pursuing an uncertain, yet potentially more fulfilling life elsewhere. Set at the brink of WWI, Chris must also cope with domestic violence. || Come see one of Davies' best films yet! #terencedavies #okcmoa #sunsetsong
