Nathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic

Launching his curatorial career at the George Eastman House in 1957, Nathan Lyons (19302016) soon made a mark in the museum world and in his workshops for photographers and curators alike. Yet his supporting role in the careers of rising stars such as Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand sometimes eclipsed the publics awareness of Lyonss own pioneering photography. Coinciding with a major exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in 2019, Nathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic is a long-overdue celebration of Lyonss astonishing body of work.

Featuring more than two hundred and fifty compelling images, accompanied by critical essays, the book charts the distinct phases of Lyonss career. His early work, exemplified by his exuberant initiatives of the 1960sthe Visual Studies Workshop and the Society for Photographic Educationdemonstrated that street photography and formalism are not mutually exclusive, as university photography courses began migrating from journalism to art departments. His final years, which included a shift to color at age eighty, are also explored in depth. A companion to Nathan Lyons: Selected Essays, Lectures, and Interviews, this is the definitive visual sourcebook on a highly influential innovator.
