A Chicago artist, Ufer went to Taos in the summer of 1914 and was elected a member of the Taos Society of Artists in 1917. After his arrival in Taos, Ufer abandoned the studio for painting outdoors and The Old Spanish Gate, painted during his first trip to Taos, is an excellent example of his new approach.
