LeRoy Grannis. Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s - Reseñas
| "‘Here`s the monster,` LeRoy Grannis says, picking up one corner of the gorgeous and extravagant new collection of his classic surf photos, just released by TASCHEN, and titled LeRoy Grannis, Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s. A limited edition of 1,000, it comes in a special protective box, so heavy that Grannis, now 88 years old, can barely lift it. And that`s fitting, because contained within its oversized pages is not only the work of Grannis` own lifetime, but also the embodiment of a profoundly influential American subculture."— C Magazine, Los Angeles, Estados Unidos |
| "Cuando en 1959, Le Roy, el padre de familia, comenzó a tomar las soleadas imágenes que se recopilan en este libro era un veterano surfista apodado Granny que emprendía, en el momento justo y en el sitio adecuado, una senda que habían abierto otros. Cuenta Steven Barlotti en el prólogo del libro que la fotografía era para Grannis un hobby, y la California de los sesenta, el lugar en el que un puñado de jóvenes con enormes tablas iba a revolucionar un deporte de tradición hawaiana. Leroy Grannis.Surf photography está editado por TASCHEN en una tirada limitada a 1.000 copias para todo el mundo."— El País, Madrid, España |
| "Mit seiner ostdeutschen 35-Millimeter-Kamera und einem 400-Millimeter-Objektiv schuf Grannis ein einzigartiges Zeugnis des goldenen Zeitalters des Surfens."— Surfers, Hamburg, Alemania |
| "Within a brief, kinetic decade, Grannis created the world`s collective vision of American surf culture, from the clean-cut surfer of the ‘60s to the rumblings of rebellion ahead in the ‘70s. Each of the 278 pages in (Jim) Heimann and (Steve) Barilotti`s exquisitely bound hardcover volume remind surfer and spectator alike of the pleasure of sun, sand and the always elusive perfect wave."— Shelter Interiors, Brooklyn, Estados Unidos |
| "If you drive around the Southern California freeways for any length of time chances are good you will suddenly encounter the gaily wrapped Pacifico beer truck trundling along in the slow lane. There, life-size in fizzy aquamarine hues, is LeRoy Grannis` famous 1966 shot of a hapless surfer being launched by the notorious Makaha shorebreak. It won`t be the first ‘Photo By Grannis` you`ve run into outside a surf magazine. Over the last four decades ‘Granny`s` photos have been featured in several books, on billboards, in documentaries, gallery showings and countless retrospectives about surfing`s Golden Age. More than any other surf photographer, Grannis` work has transcended time and the narrowing cultural chasm between surfers and the mainstream ‘legions of the unjazzed.′"— Surfer Magazine, Los Angeles, Estados Unidos |
| "Leroy Grannis, Surf Photography of 1960s and 1970s, est un très bel ouvrage dans lequel le photographe, surfeur dès 1931, nous plonge, à travers ses clichés, aux origines du mouvement surf. Une édition limitée à 1000 exemplaires, numérotées et signés par Leroy Grannis (…)."— Monsieur, Paris, Francia |
