House and Trees, Lake George 1934

Alfred Stieglitz's "House and Trees, Lake George" (1934) is a striking example of the photographer's signature style, known as Pictorialism. This black and white photograph captures a simple yet evocative scene, emphasizing the formal qualities of the composition. The composition's strength lies in the strong vertical and horizontal lines of the house, framed by the lush trees. The soft light and subtle tones further contribute to the serene atmosphere of the scene, a hallmark of Stieglitz's photographic vision. Stieglitz's work played a key role in elevating photography as a fine art.
