Gloria Ida Logan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gloria Ida Logan (born Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 25 April 1927; died 9 June 2005) was an Australian artist and lecturer in arts and crafts. She was educated at Brisbane Girls Grammar School, Trinity College of Music, Central Technical College and Kelvin Grove Teachers College. Logan lectured at Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College as well as University of Queensland. Logan also worked for the Queensland Art Gallery as teacher of the Scholarship Children's Art Class and on numerous occasions for the Queensland Arts Council [1]. Logan was President of the Australian Society For Education Through Art (Queensland) and was an Australian delegate at International Society for Education Through Art Congresses. Her works are represented in Australian and international collections. Logan worked in a large range of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture and vitreous Enamel. Logan was also an invited judge of art exhibitions. She was also a scenic designer. Commenting on one Logan's design for "The Caretaker" by Harold Pinter, David Tickell wrote, "Designer Gloria Logan has created all the seediness and squalor of that part of London where the city's misfits and flotsam eake out their miserable individual existences. You wouldn't think somebody would have to work hard creating a rubbish tip but that's what it is and that's what she did. It's so convincing." [2] David Rowbotham wrote of the same design, "The West End Room in which the action takes place is excellently represented by Gloria Logan's set." [3]
