Lise Cormery writes the biography of Jean Lodge in her book :
"Post War Art Ecole de Paris" :
" Le Paon du Jour" is a woodblock engraving of a butterfly by the artist Jean Lodge. Born in 1941 in the United States, she becomes Professor and Director of Print at Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford University. Her favorite medium is wood, her cherished topic, Metamorphosis, like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly, like "Le Paon du Jour". During a scientific mission, she discovers the sumptuous migration of the American butterflies, The Monarchs, flying from Canada until Mexico on four thousand kilometers and she likes to transcribe their metamorphosis.
Jean LODGE was born in 1941 in Dayton, Ohio, United States. After a B.A. in Littérature from Miami University. She studies at the Ruskin School of Fine Art of Oxford University in England from 1965 to 1969, where later on, she will become professor and Director of the Print Department. She works in Oskar Kokoschka studio in Salzbourg, Austria, on color separation without mixing. She deepens her knowledge of engraving at Stanley-William Hayter studio in Paris.
Her favorite medium is wood, her favorite topic is metamorphosis. During a scientific mission, she discovers the journey of the American Monarch Butterflies flying four thousand kilometers between Canada and Mexico.
Master of woodblock engravers, she belongs to the Selection of the United States for the Art Olympiads organized by Lise Cormery Gallery for the French Olympic Committee in 1991 and 1992 in Paris. She showed a magnificent monumental woodblock on the American immigrants where Europeans with Ellis Island metamorphosis become Americans. The 1992 CNOSF event in Paris was following the famous 1988 Art Olympiads in Seoul with its sculpture and painting museums created for the Olympic event in order to invite and show the art of major international artists of the century.

Jean LODGE, née en 1941, Dayton, Ohio, Etats-Unis, est diplômée d'un Bachelor of Arts de Littérature à l'Université de Miami. En Europe elle étudie à la Ruskin School of Fine Art de l'Université d’Oxford, Angleterre, de 1965 à 1969, où elle enseignera plus tard comme directeur du département de gravure. Elle travaille dans l'atelier d'Oskar Kokoschka, à Salzbourg, en Autriche, sur la technique de la couleur séparée : quand les couleurs se superposent sans mélanges. Elle continue sa recherche à Paris avec Stanley-William Hayter pour la gravure.
Son medium favori est le bois, son sujet de prédilection, La Métamorphose.
Lors d'une mission scientifique, elle découvre la somptueuse migration des papillons américains, les Grands Monarques, qui volent pendant quatre mille kilomètres entre le Mexique et le Canada.
Maître de la gravure sur bois, elle est sélectionnée pour représenter les Etats-Unis lors des Olympiades des Arts organisées par la Galerie Lise Cormery pour le Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français en 1991 et 1992 à Paris, à l'occasion des Jeux Olympiques d'hiver de 1992. Elle y présente une magnifique gravure sur bois monumentale sur l'immigration américaine où des foules d'européens en traversant Ellis Island se métamorphosent en Américains et ce « Paon du Jour » est le Symbole de Renaissance.
Cet évènement du CNOSF à Paris en 1992, faisait suite aux Olympiades des Arts de Séoul où la ville a inauguré pour cette occasion un musée de peinture et un musée de sculptures monumentales en plein air avec des artistes invités venus du monde entier pour y exposer et représenter l'art du XXe siècle.
Nombreuses expositions internationales dont : Morley Gallery Londres, Museo national del Grabado, Buenos-Aires, Argentine, Broughton House Gallery, Cambridge 2008-2015 : Invitée d’honneur « Bois de fil… bois de bout », Musée de Gravelines, Saint Cloud, « Monarchs » New Collège, Oxford 2015, « Jean Lodge, prints, paintings drawings », Miami University Art Museum, Invitée d’honneur Société Nationale des Beaux-arts, Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, etc.
