Maurice George Logan

Maurice George Logan (1886 - 1977) was active/lived in California.  Maurice Logan is known for Landscape, harbors and townscape painting, illustration.

Born north of San Francisco near Calistoga on Temescal Dam Lake, Maurice Logan was an adept watercolor and oil painter of ghost towns, desert landscapes, and marine scenes.  The artists he most admired were John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla.

He was part of the Society of Six*, a group in the 1920s led by Selden Gile that espoused bright color (Fauvism*), a sense of region, Impressionist style, and rebellion against the prevalent Tonalism* and classical strictures of William Keith and Arthur Mathews.  The Six exhibited together at the Oakland Art Gallery.  Later in his career, he reverted to a Tonalist style.

From childhood, Logan wanted to be an artist, and he took his first lessons from a Miss Clara Cuff.  A family friend paid for the lessons because Logan's father disapproved of his son's art interests.  However, young Logan was encouraged in artistic expression by the many artists who came to paint in the Temescal Lake area   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5913 characters.]  Artist bio
