This year we are celebrating 20 years of M+B. Every two weeks throughout the summer, we’re highlighting a photographer whose work helped define the gallery’s early program. Long before we became known for contemporary art, M+B began as a photography gallery—one that championed artists pushing the medium in new, culturally resonant directions. These photographers weren’t just documenting the world; they were embedding themselves in it, using unorthodox materials and techniques to create something visceral, immediate, and undeniably of their time.
Our next spotlight is on legendary surf photographer: LeRoy Grannis.
