Lake George c. 1922

"Lake George" is a photo by Alfred Stieglitz taken in 1922. It depicts a quaint house nestled in the landscape, with an expansive, stormy sky dominating the composition. This striking black-and-white photograph showcases Stieglitz's mastery of capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The emphasis on the weather evokes a sense of drama and foreboding, characteristic of his later photographic work. The photograph's intimate scale, measuring just 9 by 11.2 cm, invites close inspection of its rich details.
