Barn—Lake George 1922

"Barn—Lake George" (1922) by Alfred Stieglitz is a stark and minimalist photograph of a wooden barn, featuring a single window with broken glass. The image focuses on the texture of the wood and the geometric shapes of the barn's structure, showcasing Stieglitz's mastery of the photo-secessionist style. This work exemplifies the artist's interest in capturing the beauty of everyday objects and finding artistic merit in the commonplace. The photograph is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
