Nic Nicosia

Nic Nicosia (born 1951) is an American artist using photography, sculpture, and drawing in his practice.

He received a BS in radio-television-film, with a concentration in motion pictures, from the University of North Texas in 1974.

He was awarded a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation grant in 1984 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010.

Nicosia is considered a pioneer in the staged photographic movement that came into prominence in the early 1980s.

It was taken shortly after moving into a new suburban Dallas neighborhood, and uses three children who lived on his street as models.
