Rudy Burkhardt
Untitled

1940

About the Item

The Swiss American photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt was a robust contributor to the New York art scene as a documentarian and participant, from 1935 until the end of the century. Burckhardt witnessed and photographed the birth and rise of such groups as the Abstract Expressionists and the New York School. In his own work Burckhardt captured quotidian moments of the city, its people, the demolition & construction of its changing neighborhoods. He brings an acute eye to his random yet formal & playful compositions. Amidst the quantities of photographs Rudy shot, several of them are some of the most iconic of New York City, such as the Flatiron Building, The Brooklyn Waterfront, Queens and the water towers of Chelsea rooftops.

Tice, born in Newark, New Jersey, United States, October 13, 1938, the son of a college-educated New Jerseyan, William S. Tice, and Margaret Robertson, a Traveller of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh stock with a fourth-grade education. George was raised by his mother, maintaining regular visiting contact with his father, whose influence and advice he valued highly. Education His first contact with photography was in the albums of family photographs belonging to his father, and this gave him the desire to create images of his own. George Tice began with a Kodak Brownie. In 1953, having bought a Kodak Pony, which gave him some control over exposure and focus, and a Kodak developing kit, he began to advance his craft. George Tice also joined the Carteret Camera Club. Tice's photographs of homeless men on the Bowery won second place in the black and white print competitions. George Tice decided at this point to make photography his career. In 1955 George Tice attended the Newark Vocational and Technical High School, where he briefly studied commercial photography under Harve Wobbe. When he turned sixteen, he quit school and took a job as a darkroom assistant for Classic Photo, a portrait studio in Newark. He also worked as a stock boy at Kreske's Department Store in Newark, then as an office boy in the circulation department of the Newark Evening News. In 1956 George Tice enlisted in the United States Navy, in which he rose to the rank of Photographer's Mate Third Class. After boot camp and two years at Naval Air Station Memphis, he was transferred to sea duty aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Wasp...

But Meatyard was also looking at Giorgio de Chirico and the European Surrealists and here employs their penchant for the lifeless mannequin figure. A headless dressmaker’s dummy...
