His most notable work focused on scenes of Native American life, particularly of the Pueblo Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUfer was born in Germany and moved with his family to Louisville, Kentucky in 1880, where Ufer grew up. After an apprenticeship as a lithographer, he went to Europe where he was a travelling journeyman. Like many of his fellow artists with ties to Indianapolis's German-American community, he went to Germany to study; he trained in Hamburg and Dresden. When he returned to America, he worked as a printer in Chicago and taught school, and later took classes in fine arts. After a brief time in Chicago, he returned to Munich in 1911 to further his studies as an artist. Upon his return to the US, he travelled to Taos in 1914. There, he became one of the \"Taos Ten\" and associated with the Taos Society of Artists. In 1917, Ufer served as president of Chicago's Palette and Chisel, Academy of Fine Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to his art, Ufer is known for his social activism. He helped victims of the 1918 flu epidemic being treated in the local schoolhouse and collected money for miners on strike in Madrid, New Mexico. He was also a member of the Industrial Workers of the World and a follower of Leon Trotsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUfer died from appendicitis. At his request, he was cremated and his ashes were spread in an arroyo (creek) near Mabel Dodge Luhan's house in Taos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1920s, Ufer's work garnered critical and commercial success. He showed at the Carnegie International and became an Academician of the National Academy of Design. Ufer's New Mexico paintings are characterized by genre scenes of Native American life and landscapes executed in a high-keyed palette. One of his favorite models was a Taos Indian named Jim Mirabal who was often referred to as \"Ufer's Jim.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuseums with his work include the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, New Mexico Museum of Art, Taos Art Museum (at Fechin House) and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ufer-walter-1876-1936-callers-indians-on-horses-c-1926","title":"Ufer, Walter (1876-1936) - Callers, Indians on Horses c.1926","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the American painter Walter Ufer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4256 pixels wide by 4268 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ufer-walter\" title=\"Walter Ufer\"\u003eWalter Ufer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62505192980810,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Ufer_Walter_1876-1936_-Callers_IndiansonHorses_main.jpg?v=1782073603"},{"product_id":"ufer-walter-1876-1936-going-to-the-waterhole-santa-clara-c-1920","title":"Ufer, Walter (1876-1936) - Going to the Waterhole, Santa Clara c.1920","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the American painter Walter Ufer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4809 pixels wide by 3885 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ufer-walter\" title=\"Walter Ufer\"\u003eWalter Ufer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62505198256458,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Ufer_Walter_1876-1936_-GoingtotheWaterhole_SantaClara_main.jpg?v=1782073929"},{"product_id":"ufer-walter-1876-1936-where-the-desert-meets-the-mountain-1922","title":"Ufer, Walter (1876-1936) - Where the desert meets the mountain 1922","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the American painter Walter Ufer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4360 pixels wide by 3984 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ufer-walter\" title=\"Walter Ufer\"\u003eWalter Ufer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62505204678986,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Ufer_Walter_1876-1936_-Wherethedesertmeetsthemountain1922_main.jpg?v=1782074240"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Ufer_Walter_1876-1936.jpg?v=1782072833","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ufer-walter.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
