A hardcover facsimile edition based on the 1968 original, printed with new reproductions from Lyon's vintage photographs
Danny Lyon is highly regarded as one of the most influential documentary photographers of the last five decades. His many books include The Movement (1964), The Destruction of Lower Manhattan (1969), Conversations with the Dead (1971), Knave of Hearts (1999), Like a Thief’s Dream (2007), and Deep Sea Diver (2011). Widely exhibited and collected, Lyon has been awarded Guggenheim Fellowships twice and National Endowment for the Arts grants ten times.
Like an Old Testament prophet, the photographer Danny Lyon has
agitated for his fellow man to pursue justice and freedom. This was
not always a popular message, nor a lucrative one, but that wasn’t
how he saw his role. –The New York Times
Armed with a Triumph, a Nikon, and a unique dual perspective as
both participant and observer, Lyon was able to access and portray
a disarmingly intimate, familiar, and diverse subculture. –LA
Weekly
A seminal work in the modern photography canon –Time
Whether shooting civil-rights protesters, motorcycle gang members
or Texas inmates, the photographer empathized with his
subjects—sometimes getting so close, he took up their cause. –The
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Lyon…did more than anyone outside Hollywood to establish the
image of the outlaw biker. –The New York Times Wheels blog
