The Lake George series features Georgia O'Keeffe's enlarged views of leaves and other subjects from Lake George.
O'Keeffe spent time at the Stieglitz family property on Lake George in upstate New York. She visited the area regularly from the 1910s through the 1930s, and its seasonal landscape supplied many of her paintings, including views of leaves, trees, flowers, hills, and pumpkins.
Her Lake George works show how she could turn ordinary natural objects into monumental compositions. Leaves were often isolated, enlarged, and simplified so that their curves and colors became the main subject. The series therefore connects her interest in nature with her broader experiments in abstraction.
The title Lake George can refer to a group or category of works rather than one single painting. O'Keeffe also produced famous flower series and New York cityscapes, so a question about the location is best answered by identifying the Lake George series itself rather than naming a particular plant.
