Lake George from the Hill 1932

"Lake George from the Hill" (1932) by Alfred Stieglitz is a striking black and white photograph that captures the serene beauty of Lake George in upstate New York. The image features a rolling hillside covered in lush vegetation, with a lake nestled between forested mountains in the background. The composition is masterful, drawing the viewer's eye toward the distant lake and the ethereal fog that shrouds the mountains. The photograph's simplicity and starkness exemplify Stieglitz's pioneering approach to photography as a fine art. This work, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Stieglitz's profound appreciation for nature's subtle grandeur.
