George Tice is a New Jersey photographer who is famous all over the world.    He was born and raised in Newark.  Most of his images were obtained in New Jersey.

His family dates back to the 17th century in NJ.  Have you heard of Tice’s Lane in East Brunswick?

He has published many photo books including his great work “Paterson.”

George Tice pioneered the resurrection of platinum printing.  I have one of his platinum prints from the book  Stone Walls, Grey Skies.  I obtained it from the artist while attending his darkroom printing course at the Maine Photographic Workshops.

George Tice at the Newark Museum

This month an exhibit will open  (6/21/22) ) at the Joseph Bellows Gallery in La Jolla,  California celebrating Tice’s life work.  (1938-)

The gallery’s current show includes  many vintage prints of both famous and lesser-known images. Signed copies of his new book, Lifework, 1953-2013, are also available.

“It takes the passage of time before an image of a commonplace subject can be assessed. The great difficulty of what I attempt is seeing beyond the moment; the everydayness of life gets in the way of the eternal.” – George Tice
