Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. 
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

Oh, ye infidel philosophers, teach me how to find joy in sorrow, strength in weakness, and light in darkest days; how to bear buffeting and scorn; how to welcome death, and to pass through it into the sphere of life, and this not for me only, but for the whole world that groans and travails in pain…
Henry Ward Beecher

PAUL ICKOVIC

Photographs from an exhibition

Institute of Contemporary Art. Boston, 1974

Preface by Loretta Yarlow, curator.
Book design by Mason Singer.
Printed by Thomas Todd Company, Boston.

 

Paul Ickovic guides us through our landscape. Like the botanist discovering the intricate variety of plants and their individuality, like the geologist unearthing the formations of layer upon layer of rock and shale, like the physicist splitting the atom, Paul wants to discover, unearth, break apart the mystery of human existence. But unlike the botanist, the geologist, and the physicist, he is not so interested in solving the riddle as in illuminating its infinite complexity. Patricia Griffith, from the Foreward to In Transit
