Original 20th C. Robert Henry Logan Moroccan Street Scene at Night Impressionist

Description: About this work: “Moroccan Street Scene at Night” by Robert Henry Logan (American, 1874-1942) An excellent example of Logan’s scenes from his travels in Morocco in the early 20th century. This work features traditional Moroccan architecture and slew of figures seated and moving about the alleyways. It is wonderfully textured with the artist’s signature impressionistic brushwork. Despite his friendships with world renowned contemporaries, including Robert Henri and James Wilson Morrice (whom he travelled with to Morocco), Logan’s market has been relatively untapped. When the artist hung up his brush in 1920, his works were kept in storage for decades until the family revealed the trove to the public in the late 20th century. Today, his work continues to be rediscovered by collectors and institutions alike. The work is oil on wood panel and is housed in a beautiful gilt frame. It is stamped by the artist’s estate in the lower left and verso. Size: 5.75 inches tall by 7.25 inches wide (painting) 11.25 inches tall by 12.75 inches wide by 1.5 inches deep (frame) Provenance: Private collection; Acquired from the above About the artist: Robert Henry Logan was born in Waltham, Massachusetts on June 24, 1874. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and studied with Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell, who introduced him to a conservative American version of French Impressionism. In 1892 he received the school's top drawing prize. In 1895 he left for France to study at the Academie Julian, where he was guided by Louis Joseph, Raphael Collin, Jean Paul Laurens, and Benjamin Constant. In Paris he also studied with Robert Henri and associated with many other American artists including William Glackens. Through Henri, Logan met the artist James Willam Morrice and during the first decade of the twentieth century the two men traveled and painted throughout Europe. Logan exhibited at the Salon of the Societe des Artistes Francais and in 1905 was awarded the Prix de Rome. In spite of his growing success he returned to Waltham in 1912. He established a studio there and another in Rockport, Massachusetts, where he continued to paint for the next ten years. After his marriage in 1920 he virtually gave up painting, though he continued to teach selected students,and turned his attention to woodworking and ironwork. After his death in 1942, his works remained secluded in the home of his son until 1960. In the late 1970s they were sold; subsequently his work was featured in several gallery and museum exhibitions. Logan was one of the few American artists to be honored by both the French and Spanish Academies of Art. Condition: Very good overall condition. Minor scattered inpainting.
