LeRoy Grannis, Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s - Reviews
„300 Sonnentage im Jahr, kilometerlange Sandstrände, dazu die Wellen des Pazifiks – in Kalifornien leben Surfer ihren Traum von Schwerelosigkeit. Ein neuer Bildband zeigt, wie dort vor 40 Jahren das Wellenreiten neu erfunden wurde.“Lufthansa Magazin, HamburgGermany |
|
„Der Kultfotograf der Surf-Szene machte die coolen Bilder zum Lebensgefühl der Beach-Boy-Generation. Leroy Grannis’ Aufnahmen der Wellenreiter der 60er- und 70er-Jahre vermitteln heute wie damals das unbeschwerte Leben voller kalifornischer Strandträume vom eleganten Tanz entlang der Schaumkronen des Pazifiks.“Foto Magazin, HamburgGermany |
|
„Der Band des Fotografen und Meister-Surfers Leroy Grannis liefert jetzt die passenden Bilder zum ‚Fun, Fun, Fun’-Soundtrack der Zeit: Bretter, die die Welt bedeuteten.“Literaturen, BerlinGermany |
|
„Es gelang Grannis, das Lebensgefühl einer ganzen Generation einzufangen, lange bevor der Sport zum Massenphänomen wurde. Ein Bildband zeigt nun die spektakulärsten Aufnahmen aus seinem Privatarchiv, das rund 30 000 Fotos umfasst.“Gala, HamburgGermany |

„Profiaufnahmen der Spitzenklasse zeigt der Band Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s von LeRoy Grannis. Zu einer Zeit, als in Deutschland kaum einer das Wort ‚Surfbrett’ überhaupt kannte, war der Amerikaner in seiner Heimat längst als Surf-Fotograf etabliert.“Hannoversche Allgemeine, HannoverGermany |
|
„Seine Bilder von nassen Jungs aus den 60ern und 70ern sind atemberaubend und machen Lust auf Sommerurlaub in Kalifornien oder auf Hawaii.“G Mag, BerlinGermany |

“All roads on the social, fashion, and celebrity map lead to Rome this summer for Valentino’s grand celebration from July 6 to 8. (What to bring as a present? Here is one idea: TASCHEN’s great book, LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography from the 1960s and 1970s. It’s a winner for summer giving).”Vogue, New YorkUnited States |

“LeRoy Grannis is an old-school surfer. He learned in the ocean off Hermosa Beach, back in 1931 when he was a 14-year-old boy taking to the waves on a big ol’ slab of pine. And he kept surfing for nearly all his life. He’ll be 90 in August, and only in the last few years has he left the waves to younger fellas. So while we’d celebrate him as one of the early guys in the sport in any event, Grannis—or Granny as his surfing buddies dubbed him in the ‘30s—deserves even more respect as one of the first surf photographers as the sport went mainstream in the ‘60s. A new book, LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s, provides a wonderful look at the scene Grannis chronicled—the famous surfers (Dewey Weber, Greg Noll, Corky Carroll, Dru Harrison) and the famous beaches (San Onofre, Huntington Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verde Cove).”Orange County Register, Santa AnaUnited States |

“When you’ve just survived a four-hour session fighting off wave-hungry groms at the comp-heavy 56th street, this big book of photos from a simple time is the perfect remedy. Grannis, a member of the Surfing Hall of Fame, took some of the most iconic pictures of the pivotal ‘60s and ‘70s era. Concentrating on California and Hawaii, it’s nostalgic, instructive and most of all, gorgeous.”Coast Magazine, Newport BeachUnited States |
|
"TASCHEN édite une version miniature dix fois moins chère que l’édition collector parue l’an dernier de ce « best of » de photos du surf des années 1960 et 1970 par LeRoy Grannis, un maître américain du genre."Sport & Style, ParisFrance |
