Walter Ufer

Walter Ufer (1876 - 1936) was active/lived in New Mexico.  Walter Ufer is known for Social realist landscape, figure, portrait and Indian genre painting, lithography.

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.

He showed early art talent and was encouraged by his father, a master gunsmith and by his teachers. After grammar school, he apprenticed to a lithography firm where he learned basic design principles. He spent seven years in Europe and earned his formal art education at Germany's Royal Academy of Fine Arts where he became friends with American artists, Joseph Henry Sharp and Ernest Blumenschein.

In 1911, he married Mary Fredericksen, an artist, and in 1913, they painted in Paris, Italy, and North Africa bef   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 15708 characters.]  Artist bio
