In 1917, Logan and five other California plein air painters joined together to form the "Society of Six," a group of artists whose work was categorized first and foremost by bold colors. As early as 1923, Maurice Logan was designing posters for the Southern Pacific Railway, but in the late 1920s, the Railway began to reproduce his popular paintings for their promotions.
