Lake George supplied subjects for Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings from the 1910s through the 1930s.
O'Keeffe spent repeated periods at Lake George, New York, with Alfred Stieglitz and his family. The area offered forests, water, hills, and seasonal changes that became important sources for her paintings, drawings, and watercolors.
Her Lake George works include landscapes, still lifes, and close views of natural forms. Some paintings made there show how she moved between recognizable subjects and increasingly abstract arrangements of color and shape. The location therefore connects several phases of her career rather than representing only one style.
Lake George is in the Adirondack region of New York. It is distinct from Lake Placid, another Adirondack destination, and from Lake Champlain, a much larger lake farther east.
