Terrace Theater, Los Angeles

This black-and-white photograph of the Terrace Theater’s opening day is a masterful study of light and shadow, combining the venue’s warm, inviting glow with its austere, minimalist architectural design. As part of Shulman’s extensive body of work documenting the development of mid-century architecture in Los Angeles, this image epitomizes the openness and sense of leisure that define the modern California lifestyle. The acquisition of this work grows the museum’s holdings of California photography.
