San Francisco:
Portrait of a City 1940–1960, Lyon presents a darker tone,
exploring the hidden corners of his native city. Images taken in
the foggy night are illuminated only by neon signs, classic car
headlights, apartment windows, or streetlights. Sharply dressed
couples stroll out for evening shows, drivers travel down steep
hills, and sailors work through the night at the old Fisherman's
Wharf. Stylistically, many of the photographs are experimental the
noir tone is enhanced by double exposures, elements of collage, and
blurred motion. These strikingly evocative duotone images expose a
view of San Francisco as only Fred Lyon could capture.
