1968, just before Easy Rider roared its way into the American
imagination, Danny Lyon finished The Bikeriders. This seminal
photographic study marked a new direction for photo-journalism and
documentary photography, and pioneered the style that has come to
be known as the "New Journalism". It was one of the
defining photography projects of the 1960's. The Bikeriders,
With its mix of grit, realism and romanticism, and its
ground-breaking use of the biker's own stories and accounts,
was a landmark collection that documented the abandon and risk of
motorcycle gangs, and powerfully propelled motorcycle
counterculture into the mainstream American consciousness. The
images and interviews in The Bikeriders are as raw, alive, and
dramatic today as they were nearly four decades ago. It has
influenced every subsequent generations of photographers and is a
masterful illustration of a unique American sub-culture. www.smponline.org. |
