LeRoy Grannis. Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s - Reviews (3)
| "De la ola perfecta al drama de la caída, nadie ha sabido captar este deporte como él."— Fuera de serie, Madrid, Spain |
| "... las mejores imágenes del surf que la editorial TASCHEN rescata en Surf Photography of 1960`s and 1970`s, un libro en edición limitada que en la mayoría de los casos, trasciende lo que es el deporte para retratar la cultura del surf: las tablas, los coches, las chicas, las playas, el sol. Sin duda el mejor tratamiento contra el estrés, y no sólo para el fotógrafo, también para el espectador."— GQ, Madrid, Spain |
| "LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s (TASCHEN £800) is a limited edition, extravagantly bound and boxed volume that has already sold out in the US and Europe. There are fewer than 50 available in Australia."— Men's Style, Sydney, Australia |
| "Surf Collector. TASCHEN édite un livre exceptionnel de l`un des plus éminents photographes de surf de tous les temps, Leroy Grannis. Le photographe californien qui sévissait sur les spots du monde entier dans les années 60-70 a réalisé parmi les plus beaux clichés de l`histoire du surf. Concepteur de génie, Leroy Grannis est un pionnier de la photographie de surf aquatique, grâce à un appareil qu`il avait lui-même mis au point. Les collectionneurs n`hésiteront pas à casser leur tirelire pour se procurer ce livre à un prix prohibitif, tout de même."— Beach Brother, Biarritz, France |
| "Liquido elemento. Che però può farsi denso di onde violente. O evaporare nel calore che lascia al suolo sale e candore. L'acqua è al centro di due volumi fotografici in uscita da questo mese (...) La prima (storia ndr) a essere narrata è quella di Surf e a farlo è un libro di TASCHEN: LeRoy Grannis Surf photography of the 1960s and 1970s, in 290 pagine, in una sequenza di vivide immagini fissa non solo il piacere o la paura che nasce dal cavalcare l'onda, ma percorre usi, costumi, evoluzioni di uno sport che, sviluppatosi nell Hawaii più di cinque secoli fa, negli Stati Uniti iniziò la sua vertiginosa ascesa nel 1950. Le Roy Grannis poi, non è "semplicemente" un fotografo, ma un vero addicted. Californiano quindi al posto giusto, comincia a surfare a 14 anni e a 42 per hobby, a scattare foto che lo faranno conoscere come fotografo specializzato, ma sopratutto lo renderanno un testimone autorevole di una cultura e di uno stile di vita."— Vogue, Milano, Italy |
| "Libro de edición limitada y firmada que recoge lo major del trabajo de LeRoy Grannis, que alo largo de su carrera ha retratado como nadie la estética de la cultura surf."— Marie Claire, Madrid, Spain |
| "El libro muestra todo el enfoque que hice del surfing life style de aquella época"— Glide, Guipuzcoa, Spain |
| "Recueil d`images inédites sur le surf des années 60 - 70, ce livre est un nouvel ouvrage de référence pour les amateurs de vagues."— L'Officiel Hommes, Paris, France |
| "Drawing from LeRoy Grannis`s personal collection, this beautifully bound 290-page book chronicles the beginning of surfing`s heyday in the early 60s and goes all the way through the late 70s. His photos show a time in surfing`s life when the whole culture of the surfing lifestyle was being created. Gidget cruised Malibu, Woodies were the ultimate surf wagons, guys rode redwood boards, and people smiled in the lineup—those must have been the days. This book doesn`t come cheap (around $400), but its heirloom quality and limited to only 1,000 signed and numbered copies."— Transworld Surf Magazine, Oceanside, United States |
| "As much as for their images of perfect young bodies framed in the flat light of Southern California or the lambent aura that seems to characterize Hawaiian days, Mr. Grannis`s pictures are most startling because the scenes they record and breaks they document are pristinely beautiful and impossibly vacant."— New York Times, New York, United States |
