Knoxville Narratives: Danny Lyon

This exhibition on loan from the Knoxville Museum of Art presents a group of black and white prints taken by American photographer and filmmaker Danny Lyon. Lyon (born 1942) is best known for his epic photo essay, Bikeriders. Deeply affected by James Agee’s and Walker Evans’ “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,” (1941), Lyon ventured to Knoxville in 1967 and produced a series of timeless images of Agee’s hometown.
