Following his first one-man exhibition Paintings and Drawings by Wood Gaylor, at the Thumb Box Gallery, in New York City, in 1915 and 1916, New York galleries showed continued interest in Gaylor's work. According to the artist Louis Bouche, in an oral history interview in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, Gaylor was a member of the Penguin sketch club on 15th Street between Union Square and Fifth Avenue, in New York City. European artists such as Brancusi, Pascin and Gleize were among the artists who frequented these sessions, which were organized around 1916 by Walt Kuhn who had been one of the guiding lights of the Armory Show in 1913, in which Gaylor also participated.
