Professor del Amo’s Black and White Photography class will visit the exhibition “Danny Lyon: Message to the Future” at the Whitney Museum in NYC. “Danny Lyon: Message to the Future” is the first comprehensive retrospective of the career of Danny Lyon (b. 1942) to be presented in twenty-five years. The exhibition includes approximately 175 photographs and related films. This show is relevant to the ARTS 206 Black and White Photography class for several reasons: He was a leading figure in the street photography movement in the 1960s , and Street Photography is one of the projects that students are assigned. Also, ARTS 206 fulfills the Gen Ed requirement “Topics Arts and Humanities’ and this show emphasizes Lyon’s concern with social and political issues.
