The group became known as the "Society of Six" and their rebellion took the form of producing mostly boldly colored impressionistic paintings and watercolors; an art that was in stark contrast to the muted tonalism and traditional romantic landscapes of the earlier generation of San Francisco artists like Keith and Hill. The Society of six was created in 1917 and consisted of Selden Connor Gile, Maurice Logan, William H. Clapp, August F. Gay, Bernard von Eichman, and Louis Siegriest. These artists worked primarily in Northern California and their art experimentation was not generally appreciated by contemporary art critics. Nonetheless, Logan was very much a successful commercial artist in his time. By 1915 Logan had established a studio in San Francisco. He was comissioned by Southern Pacific Company to produce covers and illustrations for railroad magazines and brochures. His Mount Shasta painting with eagles was published circa 1927 both as a cover for a Shasta Route souvenir book and as a souvenir postcard. Around this time he was hired and sent to Africa as preparation for painting dioramas of Africa at the Los Angeles Museum of History and later at the San Francisco Academy of Science. In an interesting philosophical turn-around he reacted to the modernism of contemporary art and late in life joined the anti-modernist Society for Sanity in Art
