"One of the most significant photographers of the 20th century.”
– Holly Pyne Conner, Curator of 19th Century American Art, The Newark Museum
“It is the ordinary things that Tice photographs, things that you or I might not notice, although he approaches and records them with such loving care that the final images transcend their humble subject matter. The combination of grim earnestness and dreamy pathos is entirely true to life. This is New Jersey, after all.”
- The New York Times
