A native of California, Maurice Logan studied with a number of San Francisco’s finest instructors, starting with Richard Partington. He further studied with Theodore Wores, and Frank Van Sloun at the San Francisco Institute of Art, and at the Art Institute of Chicago and the California College of Arts and Crafts, where he ultimately taught between 1935-1943.

Throughout the 1920’s, Logan painted and exhibited with a group known as “the Society of Six.” Devoted to the colorist principles of the French Fauvists, the Six banded together to share costs, rents, ideas, and exhibitions spaces. Logan’s works were grew more subdued as he aged, and by the end of the 1930’s he had abandoned his colorful palette entirely.
