Posted by dektol on July 22, 2023 · Leave a Comment

This is perhaps the best filmed interview of Lyon discussing his work that has ever been made. Shot by a KNMTV crew working for a local PBS show, Colores! It was made on the occasion of the current ABQ Museum show, Danny Lyon – Journey West. The show is up through the last Sunday in August when Lyon will do a book signing. The great 220 page catalogue is available signed on this blog. The reproductions are gorgeous, with hundreds of pictures, many new. Dont forget, the new IG is @dannylyonphotos2

The Films of Danny Lyon - Vimeo, DVD, and 16mm print rental
After his ground breaking work as a photojournalist in the 1960’s, Danny Lyon turned to films, making a series of non-fiction films in the 1970’s and 1980’s. With the recent recognition of the 2016 de Young/Whitney retrospective, funds were provided to preserve these remarkable 16mm films. High resolution digital scans were made from the original A&B negative rolls under the close supervision of the artist. The DVD covers themselves, first made for VHS tapes, have been recognized for their power and realism, and are on display at the San Francisco Museum of Art show which opened November 3^rd, 2016.
