DANNY LYON, whom ARTS MAGAZINE calls "one of the great photodocumentarians," produced this family album, I LIKE TO EAT RIGHT ON THE DIRT. Contains over 200 beautiful duotones & 4 pages of color collages, in a large oversized 11 x 14 with spiral binding, a result of a lifetime photographing his four children. Writes New York critic Daniel Wolff, "Lyon, who's spent three decades showing American culture in all its glory, greed & heedless beauty, pictures his sons (& daughters) engulfed by it." Bound to be a classic alongside Lyon's now very famous THE BIKERIDERS & CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEAD. Lyon's photographs are in collections around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, MOMA & the Smithsonian. The book's text tells the fantasy story of two brothers that go back in time with photographs. With original poems & hand written text. "There is for me in Lyon's work a magic that consists of fierce love...family romance, irony & respect for light, spirit & the ancestors. Many of the photographs are visited by magic," writes Ron Green in AFTERIMAGE.Lyon, Danny is the author of 'I Like to Eat Right on the Dirt A Child's Journey Back in Space and Time' with ISBN 9780962099229 and ISBN 0962099228.
