{{redlinks|date=May 2020}} :''See also the [[Logan Medal]] of the Geological Association of Canada. The '''Logan Medal of the Arts''' was an arts [[prize]] started in 1907. [[Art Institute of Chicago]] helped to award the prize. From 1917 through 1940, 270 awards were given. The [[Medal]] was named for arts patron [[Frank Granger Logan]]. Logan founded the brokerage house of Logan & Bryan. He served over 50 years on the board of the Institute. He and his wife, Josephine Hancock Logan, administered the award consistent with their support of the [[Society for Sanity in Art]]. They founded that Society in 1936. Josephine Logan also wrote a book in 1937 called ''Sanity in Art''. The Logans strongly opposed all forms of modern art, including [[cubism]], [[surrealism]], and [[abstract expressionism]]. == Winners == :''This is an incomplete list, please help us by updating it.'' * 1907: [[Albin Polasek]] (first winner)<ref>Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago, Volumes 1-12, pg. 263, available online via Google Books</ref> * 1918: [[Walter Ufer]] * 1921: [[Frank V.
