Description
The Bikeriders by Danny Lyon First published in 1968, this journal-size volume features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews by Danny Lyon, made from 1963 to 1967. Lyon's depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humane perspective, subverting more commercialized treatments of Americana. Lyon's photography is a form of saturation reporting, akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism. This publication is a touchstone of 1960s counterculture, defining the vision of the outlaw biker. A unique and uncompromising look at a pivotal moment in American history, The Bikeriders is a valuable addition to any photography or cultural studies collection.
