Yet his supporting role in the careers of rising stars such as Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand sometimes eclipsed the public’s awareness of Lyons’s own pioneering photography. Coinciding with a major exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in 2019, \u003ci\u003eNathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic\u003c\/i\u003e is a long-overdue celebration of Lyons’s astonishing body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing more than two hundred and fifty compelling images, accompanied by critical essays, the book charts the distinct phases of Lyons’s career. His early work, exemplified by his exuberant initiatives of the 1960s-the Visual Studies Workshop and the Society for Photographic Education-demonstrated 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.
