Description: Julian
Trevelyan, RA (1910-1988) was one of the most
significant British painters and printmakers of the 20th
century. Born in Dorking, Surrey. After studying at
Trinity, Cambridge he moved to Paris to become an artist
and enrolled at Atelier 17 under Stanley William Hayter,
where he studied etching. Trevelyan had a strong
interest in Surrealism and he became one of the English
Surrealist Group in 1936, exhibiting at the
International Surrealist Exhibition held at the New
Burlington Galleries in London. He was married to the
potter, Ursula Darwin (marriage dissolved 1950) and then
to the painter Mary Fedden from 1951.
Julian Trevelyan was a tutor at the Chelsea School of
Art 1950-55, and engraving tutor at the Royal College of
Art 1955-63. His autobiography 'Indigo Days' was
published 1957. He exhibited extensively, including at
the Royal Academy from 1951 and he was elected an Hon.
Senior RA 1986. Trevelyan's work is represented in many
public collections, including by 105 examples in The
Tate Gallery. To celebrate the centenary of his birth an
exhibition of his prints was held at Pallant House
Gallery in Chichester, West Sussex in May / June 2010.
The present work is an original etching titled 'The
Fall', which measures about 18.7 x 13.7 inches image
size and about 27 x 21 inches in its frame. This work is
pencil signed by the artist, titled, and numbered 10
from an edition of 50 prints only. It is in very good
condition, as is the frame save for one or two minor
losses to the moulding.
We also have another original print by Julian Trevelyan
which is shown in the final image. This work dates from
the late 1950s / early 1960s and is an original
lithograph known as Caius College II, one of the
Cambridge Suite. It is pencil signed, numbered 4 from
an edition of 70 prints, and is framed. Further details
