"The dynamism of the images and the inventive sequencing make this
not just a book of great photographs, but a great photography book
full of energy and verve." "... a fitting tribute to [Shapiro's]
legacy" - B&W Photography Famed photojournalist Steve Schapiro
and his son Theophilus Donoghue have collaborated on seventy
thirty, a photo project that is 70% Schapiro, 30% Donoghue. Seventy
thirty depicts the various faces and expressions of humanity, from
metropolitans to migrants, unseen homeless to conspicuous
celebrities, such as Alec Guinness, Allen Ginsberg, Muhammad Ali,
Robert De Niro, Rene Magritte, Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol, and the
Velvet Underground. Schapiro photographs early New York
skateboarders while Donoghue documents current Colombian
breakdancers. Father and son both capture philosophically poignant
moments that rouse reflection. Schapiro includes his classic photo
"Man on Iceberg," which was the opening double-page spread of a
Life story on existentialism. In a similar fashion, Donoghue
contributes his contemplative "Hindsight Intersection," which was
recently featured in ARTSY's 20 21 Artists in Support of Human
Rights Watch benefit auction. Shooting in monochrome with an
occasional dash of colour, Schapiro and Donoghue portray the proud
and lofty as well as the humble and humorous. Alternately profound
and playful, Schapiro and Donoghue's photographs capture a vast
range of human emotion and experience. Like his father, Donoghue is
equally concerned with social justice issues. For this project,
Schapiro has selected images from the 60s civil rights movement
and, with Donoghue, provided photos from today's Black Lives Matter
protests and environmental rallies. Apart from numerous stateside
locations, their project includes images from India, Italy,
Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador. Together
father and son provide a touching overview of humanity throughout
the world from the 1950s to present day.

The direct action social protest movement of the 1950s and 1960s
resulted in sit-ins, marches, and other showdowns with armed police
officers and National Guardsmen. Trained in Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr.'s methods of nonviolence, young black men and women took to the
streets to fight for their civil rights and sparked a social
revolution. Thousands of acts of courage were undertaken in the
pursuit of freedomNacts that were often photographed, leaving
behind a disquieting visual record of this violent and tumultuous
period in American history. Road to Freedom: Photographs of the
Civil Rights Movement, 1956-1968 is the most significant exhibition
of civil rights photographs presented in an art museum in more than
twenty years. These images were taken by many
photographers-photojournalists, artists, movement photographers,
and amateurs alike-all of whom seem to have had a keen
understanding of the significance of their subject. This
publication presents a narrative of some of the key moments of the
civil rights movement, including the Freedom Rides of 1961, the
Birmingham hosings of 1963, and the Selma to Montgomery March of
1965. These are the unforgettable images that helped to change the
nation, increasing the momentum of the nonviolent movement by
dramatically raising awareness of injustice and the struggle for
equality. Julian Cox is curator of photography at the High Museum
of Art, Atlanta. Charles Johnson's most recent fiction publication
is Dr. King's Refrigerator and Other Bedtime Stories. He is the S.
Wilson and Grace M. Pollock Professor of Writing at the University
of Washington. John Lewis is a member of the U.S. House of
Representatives and was a leader in the American civil rights
movement."

The first comprehensive overview of an influential American
photographer and filmmaker whose work is known for its intimacy and
social engagement Coming of age in the 1960s, the photographer
Danny Lyon (b. 1942) distinguished himself with work that
emphasized intimate social engagement. In 1962 Lyon traveled to the
segregated South to photograph the civil rights movement.
Subsequent projects on biker culture, the demolition and
redevelopment of lower Manhattan, and the Texas prison system, and
more recently on the Occupy movement and the vanishing culture in
China's booming Shanxi Province, share Lyon's signature immersive
approach and his commitment to social and political issues that
concern those on the margins of society. Lyon's photography is
paralleled by his work as a filmmaker and a writer. Danny Lyon:
Message to the Future is the first in-depth examination of this
leading figure in American photography and film, and the first
publication to present his influential bodies of work in all media
in their full context. Lead essayists Julian Cox and Elisabeth
Sussman provide an account of Lyon's five-decade career. Alexander
Nemerov writes about Lyon's work in Knoxville, Tennessee; Ed Halter
assesses the artist's films; Danica Willard Sachs evaluates his
photomontages; and Julian Cox interviews Alan Rinzler about his
role in publishing Lyon's earliest works. With extensive back
matter and illustrations, this publication will be the most
comprehensive account of this influential artist's work. Published
