A giant of post-War documentary photography and film, Danny Lyon helped define a mode of photojournalism in which the picture-maker is deeply and personally embedded in his subject matter. As such, he is a godfather of sorts to a generation of photographers such as Nan Goldin and Larry Clark. A graduate of the University of Chicago, Lyon began his career in the early 1960s documenting the Civil Rights movement for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. -- art2art website.
