Danny Lyon – Message to the Future at Whitney – June 17–Sept 25, 2016
The World is Not My Home
Message to the Future at Whitney
A leading figure in the American street photography movement of the 1960s, Lyon has distinguished himself by the personal intimacy he establishes with his subjects and the inventiveness of his practice. With his ability to find beauty in the starkest reality, Lyon has through his work provided a charged alternative to the bland vision of American life often depicted in the mass media.
