Danny Lyon
The Civil Rights Movement, following bikers or prisoners of Texas, to the Occupy Wall Street activists in which he said "find an echo of the sixties," Danny Lyon was the precious witness of racial strife, political and social of the second half of the twentieth century. His photographs, which are part of the spirit of the "New Journalism" advocated in the Fifties by Tom Wolfe or absolute realism of his friend Robert Frank. A style in contrast to the traditional conventions.
He is currently preparing a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum in New York.
