Jean Kellogg Jean Kellogg was a California painter, etcher, printmaker, photographer, illustrator, and writer. She was a great supporter of arts and culture in Monterey County. Born in Berkeley to prominent parents, Vernon and Charlotte Kellogg, the young artist was educated in Switzerland, in Washington D.C. at the Phillips Memorial Gallery and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and at Yale University’s School of Fine Arts, where she studied painting under Jan Taylor Weeks, Emily M. Weeks, and Deane Keller. She also studied at the Art Students League with Yasuo Kuniyoshi as well as Henry Varnum Poor, Donald Prendergast, Martin Bear and Paul Dougherty. Kellogg lived in Carmel most of her life where she was an integral part of the art community during the 1930s onward. She was a neighbor and close friend of Edward Weston, who photographed her on several occasions, including an image which is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Kellogg counted Weston as a major influence, together with art as diverse as Persian miniatures, ancient Chinese masters, the French romantic painters and the American artist Albert P. Ryder. Kellogg had her first solo exhibition in New York at Ferargil Galleries in 1938. She hosted French Cubist painter, sculptor and filmmaker Joseph Fernand Henri Léger when he visited Carmel in 1941 for a two-week painting symposium at the Carmel Art Institute, organized by fellow CAA artist John Cunningham. Kellogg probably painted a work titled Homage to Leger, to which Leger contributed, around the time of the symposium. She also exhibited at the Lucian Labaudt Art Gallery and the Alexandre Rabow Galleries. In 1951, one of her etchings won first prize in the James D. Phelan Awards in Graphic Arts. In 1960 Kellogg married writer, illustrator and cartoonist James Dickie. Kellogg devoted much of her later practice to graphic arts and together with Dickie collaborated on the book Design the Natural Way. She ran an art gallery in Carmel Valley and then in Monterey, the city where she died in 1995. Her work is in The Phillips Collection. Kellogg is listed in Who’s Who in American Art and other standard reference books.
