N.B. The portfolio excludes numbers 5, 10, 12, 16, 18, and 25 from the published set.
Lyon heralded the New Journalism movement which saw photographers as active participants within the communities they documented. Lyon's camera captured those on the fringes of society with an honest and impartial representation of their characters and their realities. Sincere, raw, and intimate, Lyon's work blends art and activism along with social justice and humanity, resulting in some of the most influential documentary photography created in the last half of the 20th century.
The portfolio covers Lyon's early career in the 60s and 70s, including his documentation of the civil rights movement, his involvement with the Chicago Outlaws, and his time amongst prisoners in the Texas penal system, all which were previously published in several photobooks including The Destruction of Lower Manhattan (1969) and Conversations with the Dead (1971).
