About the Item

Nimes, Etching with Aquatint Painting by Julian Trevelyan 1910-1988, 1972 Additional information: Medium: Etching with Aquatint 24 x 30 in 61 x 76.2 cm Signed and titled in pencil Published by Waddington Graphics, London. Tate Collection, P01327 Provenance Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara, USA Literature Philip Trevelyan, 'Catalogue Raisonne of the Prints', no.252 Julian Trevelyan was an important British artist in the twentieth century. The only child of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and his wife Elizabeth van der Hoeven, his grandfather was the liberal politician Sir George Otto Trevelyan and his uncle was the historian George Macaulay Trevelyan. Trevelyan was educated at Bedales School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English Literature. He moved to Paris to become an artist and enrolled at Atelier Dix-Sept, Stanley William Hayter's engraving school, where he learned about etching. He worked alongside artists including Max Ernst, Oskar Kokoschka, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. In 1935, Trevelyan bought Durham Wharf, a group of warehouses beside the River Thames in Hammersmith, London. The place became his home and studio for the rest of his life as well as a source of endless artistic inspiration. He became a confirmed Surrealist and exhibited at the International Surrealist Exhibition, which was held at the New Burlington Galleries in London. Trevelyan married Ursula Darwin, daughter of Bernard Darwin and great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin, but their marriage was dissolved in 1950. Their son is the film-maker Philip Trevelyan. It was in 1951 that he married the woman who became his most renowned collaborator and muse, Mary Fedden. From 1950 to 1955, Trevelyan taught history of art and etching at the Chelsea School of Art. Between 1955 and 1963 he was tutor of engraving at the Royal College of Art, before rising to Head of the etchings department and becoming influential to many younger printmakers, including David Hockney and Norman Ackroyd. In July 1986, Trevelyan was awarded a senior fellowship at the Royal College of Art and in September 1987 he was appointed a Royal Academician. A Trevelyan retrospective, The Artist and His World, was held at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester in 2018. His son has written a monograph on Trevelyan, 'Picture Language', published in 2013 by Lund Humphries.

Cheltenham (Fantasia/Panorama), Pen and Ink Painting by John Piper, 1939 circa
By John Piper
Located in Kingsclere, GB
Cheltenham (Fantasia/Panorama), Pen and Ink Painting by John Piper, 1939 circa Additional information: Medium: Pen and ink 19 x 26.5 cm 7 1/2 x 10 3/8 in Inscribed extensively The upper image closely resembles a 1940 painting, Cheltenham Fantasia, which was sold to a Mr Anderson at the Leicester Galleries in March of that year. The lower image is a study for Piper's 1940 Curwen Press auto-lithograph 'Cheltenham', produced while he was also working on illustrations for the Shell and BP Shilling Guide to Gloucestershire (1939; not used in the project). Betjeman, then head of the project, also used the image to illustrate his article "Book Illustration Can Colour a Whole Town or City" in 'Signature' in 1940. The Cheltenham design is covered and reproduced in Hugh Fowler-Wright's book on Piper. John Piper was a painter of architecture, landscape and abstract compositions, a designer for the theatre and of stained-glass windows, and a writer on the arts. Piper was born in 1903 in Epsom, Surrey, the son of a solicitor. Throughout his childhood, he regularly visited Italy, and by 1924 he had published a book of poems and his own illustrations. He worked in his father's office in Westminster until 1928 when he began studying at the Richmond and Kingston Schools of Art. This was followed by two years study at the Royal College of Art. In 1927 he exhibited with David Birch at the Arlington gallery, and in 1931 with Clarice Moffat, P. F. Millard, and his first wife Eileen Holding...
