Abstract Expressionist Tempera on Paper Figurative -- The Pilot and His Plane

Circa 1970

About the Item

Wonderful abstract expressionist figurative of a pilot and his plane attributed to Jean Kellogg (American, 1910 - 1995), circa 1970. Unsigned. (Purchased as part of two paintings with other signed.) Presented in new mat. Image size: 24"H x 18"W. Jean Kellogg was born in Berkeley, California, in 1910. Kellogg studied at the Art Students League in New York City, the Yale School of Fine Arts, and in Washington, DC at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Phillips Memorial Gallery. She later had further instruction from Henry Varnum Poor, Clifford Beal, and Karl Knaths. Kellogg returned to California in 1931, settling in her family’s summer home in Carmel Highlands. There she began a long apprenticeship with Paul Dougherty, during which she painted mainly marines and landscapes. During the 1930s and 1940s Kellogg was active among the artists of the Monterey Peninsula, and was photographed by Edward Weston and Sonya Noskowiak. Kellogg had one-woman shows at the Lucien Labaudt and Alexandre Rabow Galleries in San Francisco, as well as at the County Art Gallery in Westbury, Long Island. During the 1950s Kellogg worked mainly as an etcher, executing the original etchings for a limited edition of Robinson Jeffers’s “The Loving Shepherdess.” Kellogg’s work is in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Norfolk Museum in Virginia, and the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, DC. In 1960 Jean Kellogg married artist James Dickie. She maintained her own gallery in Carmel Valley, and passed away at her home in Monterey in 1995.
