Lake George 1922

"Lake George" (1922) is a striking photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in the Pictorialist movement. The image features a stark, almost abstract, landscape dominated by a dark, silhouetted mountain range. The sky, filled with billowing, low-hanging clouds, provides a dramatic contrast to the foreground. Stieglitz, known for his experimentation with photography as a medium, emphasizes the geometric forms and tonal contrasts to create a powerful visual impact. This work exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of nature through simplified compositions.
