Julian Trevelyan, RA (1910 -1988) Caius College II, Cambridge (1959/1962) 37 x 51 cm Signed by the artist and numbered 4/70 in pencil. The edition consisted of 70 numbered proofs and 30 artist’s proofs. This comes from Julian Trevelyan’s Cambridge Suite which consisted of 10 lithographs: Caius College, Caius College II, Christ’s College, Corpus Christi College, Downing College, Emmanuel College, Jesus College, Peterhouse, St Catharine’s College, and Sidney Sussex College. The Government Art Collection has copies of several of the prints in this series. Nephew of the historian G M Trevelyan, Julian Trevelyan was educated at Bedales and then at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English. After moving to Paris, Trevelyan studied engraving at Stanley William Hayter’s school, working alongside artists such as Max Ernst, Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso. He married the potter Ursula Darwin in 1934, and in 1935 they moved to Hammersmith, buying Durham Wharf beside the River Thames which was Trevelyan’s studio – and home – for the rest of his life. His wartime service was – like so many artists – as a camoufleur. A Royal Engineer from 1940-43, he served in North Africa and Palestine, forcing the German Afrika Korps to use resources against a dummy army whilst real tanks were disguised as more harmless equipment. In the desert, nothing could be hidden - but it could be disguised. Following the dissolution of his marriage in 1950, he married the painter Mary Fedden. Teaching at Chelsea School of Art, Trevelyan eventually became head of the Etching Department and his pupils included David Hockney and Peter Ackroyd.
