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
Will (showing 500 of 5923 characters). |
