"Lake George" (1922) by Alfred Stieglitz is a striking example of his signature "Equivalents" series. The photograph captures a serene landscape, with the lake and mountains receding into the distance under a dramatic sky. Stieglitz, known for his innovative approach to photography, aimed to evoke emotions and abstract concepts through his images. The stark contrasts and subtle tonal shifts in "Lake George" create a sense of mystery and depth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty and power of nature. This iconic work is held by The Art Institute of Chicago.
