Europe & Travels
In 1920 growing recognition enabled Logasa to devote himself full time to his painting. He traveled in Europe during the 1920s, returning to establish a residence in New York City in 1928. When Joaquín Torres García returned to Europe from New York City in 1924 and gave up his art, Logasa was able to convince him to start working again.
A foreword he composed after a Mexican stay in Old Monterrey in 1936 reveals a wry humor not often seen in his painting.

Famous quotes containing the words europe and/or travels:
“For it does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along its shores.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
“Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
