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.

GARRET
The above drawing is one I copied from Shorpy, a website
of historical photographs. I was interested in this photo because the compositional
tableau reminded me of a Joseph Leyendecker cover illustration, my favorite
illustrator.
Then lo and behold I discovered it was used by
Leyendecker as reference for a war bond poster or the photographer modeled the
photograph after the poster…..
Weapons for Liberty, 1918
Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, March 2, 1918 and poster illustration for the Boy Scouts of America Third Liberty Loan Campaign, 1918
