Seacoast Maine by George Tice
This book makes its focus the Maine we all want to remember and the coastline we perhaps visited at one time and grew to love. Tice, for the past five years, has concentrated on assembling and arranging his favorite photographs. The result is comparable in its scope to Szarkowski's portrait of Minnesota and in sympathy to Evans's elegy to Alabama. In all, 107 quadtone photographs, from the fogs off Eastport to the lobster boats off Monhegan, from the grain elevators of Portland to the Shakers of Sabbathday Lake. The emphasis is on the coast, on its ports, its people, its geography, and its architecture. And this seems excusable: for most of us, Maine is its coast. It predominates in our mind's eye, in the popular imagination, and in the images featured in this book.Praise for Seacoast Maine
"Tice’s black and white photos give a haunting look to old, weather-beaten houses and the water and rocky coast look harsh in many photos of the jagged shorelineThe works have such a timeless look, that it is hard to tell the difference between forty-year-old photos and those taken in this decade."—Foreword Magazine
"This is an important book for many reasons. It is important as a record of a passing way of life, of a New England that is fast declining in the wake of tourism and urbanization. And it is important as a document of a time and place."—The Photo Review
George Tice is best-known for his meticulous black-and-white photography of New Jersey and its surrounds, where he has lived for most of his life. His first book of photographs, Paterson, was published by Rutgers University Press and exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1971. The success of this project led to his establishment as a major figure in the world of art photography, which he remains today.
