In Laguna Pueblo the Indians called him Chief Bald-Head-Eagle Eye because of his alluring desert landscapes. In 1910, he was elected to the National Academy of Design and later became a member of the Taos Society of Artists. Groll's work is included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Butler Institute, San Francisco Museum, Metropolitan Art Museum, Boston Fine Arts Museum, New Mexico Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, San Diego Museum, Whitney Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution among many others. He died in New York City in 1952 at the age of 86.
