Herschel Logan

I was recently in the old Carnegie Library building downtown and on display were 2 Herschel Logan prints. I really loved the contrasting black/white in the prints. Logan was a charter member of the Prairie Printmakers and specialized in woodcuts. His woodcuts have a linear quality that give the carvings dimension. Typically, Logan's prints depicted everyday life in small town Kansas. He produced almost all of his prints during the 1920's & 1930's. Then, he basically gave up printmaking all together. The Spencer Museum of Art at KU have a few Logan prints, if you want to check them out: http://www.spencerart.ku.edu
