George Tice

Description

"In my lifelong quest, looking for beauty, I managed to find it in places that some would think the most unlikely. In fact, I found it almost everywhere I looked.". "The photographs of George Tice are a fusion of beauty with the grit of ordinary experience. Tice, whose photographic books include Hometowns: An American Pilgrimage, Fields of Peace: A Pennsylvania German Album, and the award winning Paterson, has turned his camera many times to his native New Jersey. From these images of his home state, taken over the past thirty years, Tice has crafted a wordless and sometimes heartbreaking record of what urban life aspires to, its successes and its failures. Here are movie theaters, shops, houses, apartment buildings, factories and street scenes from cities large and small. With an extraordinary eye and photographic excellence, Tice honors the commonplace." "A major exhibition of over one hundred photographs entitled "George Tice: Urban Landscapes" will be presented at the International Center of Photography, New York, from June 28 to September 1, 2002."--BOOK JACKET.
