Martin W. Kellogg

Martin W. Kellogg (July 2, 1905 – December 26, 1989) was an American portrait painter.

He was born in Hartford, Connecticut at his relations home, which had been passed the length of through many generations. In his final years, he lived in Nashville. As a teen man he had lived in the Boston area where he attended the Boston Art School, and was in the Class of 1929 at Amherst College. He painted a portrait of Stephanie Zimbalist (the sister of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) when she was a minor woman, but would not sell it to her parents as he didn't desire the picture "out there".^{[clarification needed]} He was next in the craving of making his subjects cover any "imperfections" they might have as soon as their clothing, because he adamantly refused to handily paint them out.^{[citation needed]}

Some of his best-known portraits include:

He moreover painted several Governors of Tennessee, including Winfield Dunn, Frank G. Clement and James Nance McCord, which may be seen at the Tennessee State Museum.

In adjunct to painting, he had a passion for English setters, which he bred, raised, trained and showed in championship field dealings competitions.
