Robert Fulton Logan (Robert Logan)

Robert Fulton Logan - Notre Dame Dijon

Notre Dame, Dijon

Robert Fulton Logan's original etching and drypoint engraving, "Notre Dame, Dijon" was created by the Canadian/American artist in 1926. It was printed and published in Paris in a sole, signed limited edition of one hundred impressions. In "Notre Dame, Dijon", Robert Logan extensively employed drypointing in the foreground to create deep shadows and depths. As well, his delicate architectural etching and his masterful play of sunlight makes this original work of art a masterpiece within Robert Logan's oeuvre.
 
Title: Notre Dame, Dijon
Artist: Logan, Robert Fulton (Lauder, Manitoba, 1889 - Boston, 1959)
Date: 1926
Medium: Original Etching and Drypoint
Publisher: Alexis Gallery, Paris
Note: Robert Fulton Logan 'Robert Logan': Widely acknowledged as one of America's greatest architectural etchers of the early twentieth century, Robert Fulton Logan was in fact a Canadian. This misconception is mainly the fault of our Canadian art scholars. In their defense one may argue that for most of his career Robert Logan was an expatriate, living first in France and later in the United States. Canadian scholars, however, have readily embraced both Frank and Caroline Armington as their own, considering both these artists also lived and worked in Paris.
  Born in Manitoba, Robert Fulton Logan received his first art lessons in Winnipeg under Frank Armington. At the age of sixteen he enrolled at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, studying painting under Edmund Tarbell and etching under Frank Benson. He then completed his artistic education at the Chicago Art Institute. Logan first journeyed to France during the First World War as an officer in the American navy. After the war, Robert Logan accepted the position of director at the Bellevue Art Training Center, in Paris, and also taught classes at the Louvre. He remained in Paris for almost twenty years.
  During his career, Robert Fulton Logan created over one hundred architectural etchings of scenes in France, Germany and Holland. The first important one-man showing of his etched art was held at the American Chamber of Commerce, Paris, (1922) and then at annual exhibitions at the Galerie Marcel Guiot. On his return to the United States in 1934, Logan accepted the position of Chairman of the Department of Art at Connecticut College, remaining there until his retirement in 1954.
  Robert Logan was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the National Arts Club (1922) and the Societe Internationale De La Gravure Originale en Noir (1921). Today, examples of his original etchings are housed in the collections of the British Museum, London, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Cambridge University, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Museum of Luxembourg, the Metropolitan Museum, New York, the Library of Congress, Washington, and the Smithsonian Museum. Quite an accomplishment for a Canadian from Lauder, Manitoba!
  Notre Dame, Dijon is one of Robert Fulton Logan's greatest and largest original etchings. It was printed and published in Paris in a sole, signed limited edition of one hundred impressions in 1926. In Notre Dame, Dijon, Robert Logan extensively employed drypointing in the foreground to create deep shadows and depths. As well, his delicate architectural etching and his masterful play of sunlight makes this original work of art a masterpiece within Logan's oeuvre.
