- Breve biografia
- George Tice was born in 1938 in Newark, New Jersey. Tice began photographing at the age of 14, when on the advice of a teacher, he joined the Camera Club. In 1959, Edward Steichen, the director of photography at MOMA at the time, was one of the first to recognize Tice’s talent when he chose George Tice’s photograph of an explosion aboard the U.S.S. Wasp for the museum’s collection. Tice was 20 years old at the time. With a career spanning five decades, George Tice's unique vision and mastery of fine prints have made him one of the preeminent photographers of his generation. He has exhibited extensively in both the United States and abroad. His prints are in many museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum, the latter at which he had a one-man show in 1972. Early in his career, he recognized the potential of the photography book as an art form. George Tice is the author of 16 books. His book, “Paterson” was awarded the Grand Prix du Festival d’Arles. George A. Tice currently resides in Middletown, New Jersey.

There are no captions, and text does not explain any of the images, which literally need no explanation. Collectively they tell a story, and that story is not ours. So little has changed in those communities that only one photograph, of a young man in sunglasses riding a horse, was identifiable by me as a contemporary image. The text is a sympathetic, candid and enlightening description of the Amish and Mennonite peoples, usually erroneously called "Pennsylvania Dutch."
This is a beautiful book.… (altro)
