Of the hundreds of foreign students who attended the Munich Art Academy between 1910 and 1915, Walter Ufer (1876-1936) and E. Martin Hennings (1886-1956) returned to the United States to foster the development of a national art. They ultimately established their reputations in the American Southwest.

Featuring nearly 150 color plates and historical photographs, A Place in the Sun is a long-overdue tribute to the lives, achievements, and artistic legacy of these two important artists.
