The Twins, 1922
From AskArt:
Born in Germany to parents who had immigrated the next
year to Louisville, Kentucky, Walter Ufer became one of the founders of
the Taos Society of Artists and achieved much distinction as a painter
of Pueblo Indian genre. He was a complex, enigmatic personality,
claiming that he was born in Louisville rather than Germany and
suffering chronic alcoholism. During periods of sobriety, he painted
powerful canvases of New Mexico Indian genre, especially of the Taos
Pueblo.
