"As the campaign progressed, Logan's style also evolved . . . Concurrently, SP gave him free rein in both his poster style and selection of subjects . . . Logan's palette increasingly emphasized the brilliant colors emblematic of the California landscape . . . he made increasing use of the impasto technique, applying heavy, textured swirls and strokes of oil paint to achieve depth and contrast" (Zega p. 61).
