Description:
Paul (Pavel) Ickovic (America/Czech, 1944-2023), The Other Half, 1975, Silver Gelatin Print, initial signed lower right and verso, inscribed along lower edge 'For Ritchie, 1/2 Loaf is better than none' and 'The other half - Love Pavel', silver gelatin print collage torn in half, unframed.Paul (Pavel) Ickovic (1944-2023) was born in Kettering, England to Czech parents. He was thirteen when he emigrated with his family to the United States via Czechoslovakia and Colombia. In 1962, he began to photograph and travelled to France, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, India, Nepal, and Hong Kong. A self-taught photographer, Ickovic came under the tutelage of Louis Faurer in the 1960’s. As an assistant of Henri Cartier-Bresson, friend of Josef Koudelka, his lineage is among the great documentary and street photographers, yet what he sees expresses the daring and heart that is his alone.
The artist states: "One Thing Leads to Another. I am a curious animal. Why photography? For one it gives me the excuse to be anywhere anytime. That’s my job. The only continuous, consistent compass in my life. I am not interested in stories with a beginning and an end. I prefer the ambiguous terrain that sparks an emotion. I wonder what came before and after I enter the scene and trip the shutter. I don’t want to be living on a chess board analyzing my every move. Spontaneity and impulse are everything. Poker is more my game. Risk and chance whet my appetite, and that is how I extract nourishment." (R. Michelson Galleries)
