Logan is famous for portraying "holy weirdo" in drama and film and television works. From the two elegant killers in Innocent Man, the deviant industrialist in Aviator, the murderous barber in Barber Todd to the abstract painter Roscoe in Red Dress; He said, "I think this kind of characters is a big theme for me. They fascinate me. " Logan was deeply impressed by Roscoe and Kan's artistic personality. In Red, they sometimes painted together and sometimes argued fiercely. He feels that Naoto Kan in his works represents his youth dream, and at the same time he has deep reverence for Roscoe. "He broke my heart. I saw a giant realize that his time has passed, I saw his tragic consciousness, and I saw his inner pain and contradiction ... "

Indeed, when modern civilization is alienated, the humanistic spirit is seriously declining, and commercial entertainment is rampant, it is worth remembering that Roscoe's sentence "Red" is: "At that time, art was a lonely existence: there were no galleries, no collections, no comments, and no money. We have no tutor. We have no parents. We are all alone. But this is a golden age, because we have nothing to lose, but a vision to pursue. "
