Content and context

Julian Otto Trevelyan was born in 1910, the son of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and his wife Elizabeth. He attended Bedales School and was admitted to Trinity College Cambridge in 1928 where he spent two years reading English. In 1931 he moved to Paris to pursue an artistic career, working with S W Hayter at Atelier 17 where he met Miro and Picasso. After his return to England he made his home Durham Wharf on the Thames, where he lived for the rest of his life. In 1934 he married Ursula Darwin, whom he divorced in 1949. Some of Trevelyan's paintings and etchings were chosen for the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries in London. In 1937-38, he worked for Tom Harrisson's mass-observation movement and during the Second World War he worked in camouflage. He was invalided out in 1943. In 1951 he married the artist Mary Fedden.

From 1950 to 1960 he taught etching at the Chelsea School of Art and at the Royal College of Art from 1955 to 63. In the latter year he suffered a viral infection of the brain which caused him to give up teaching. He was made a senior fellow of the Royal College of Art and an honorary senior Royal Academician in 1986. He died in 1988.

Includes personal correspondence, correspondence and papers relating to the Mass Observation movement, correspondence and papers relating to wartime camouflage and working papers for publications including Trevelyan's autobiography

The papers were given by Mary Fedden
