Julian Trevelyan

Julian Trevelyan
Two wonderful etchings and aquatints, 
Oxford and Elephants, by artist.
Trevelyan, born in Surrey in 1910, 
was a renowned artist and printmaker. 
Initially gaining recognition for his 1930s Surrealist prints, he later found enjoyment 
in rural and industrial landscapes. During the early 1930s Trevelyan worked alongside Ernst, Kokoschka, Miró, Masson and Picasso and during that time his work was experimental, portraying everyday objects with a dreamlike quality.

In 1935 he set up his etching studio at Durham Wharf in Hammersmith, where he remained until his death in 1988. From 1955-63, Trevelyan worked at the Royal College of Art and became Head of the Etching Department. Highly enthusiastic, he became a highly influential teacher, with students including David Hockney, Ron Kitaj and Norman Ackroyd.

Hockney Grimm's, Goldmark, Uppingham, Rutland

David Hockney

David Hockney


Hockney began working on etchings for Grimm’s Fairy Tales in the late sixties. He had made some experimental prints inspired by ‘Rumpelstiltskin’ in 1961 and 1962 and now wanted to make a whole book.  He loved the stories and had read all 220 of them over the years.  He eventually chose twelve stories but only did engravings for six.

Hockney loved the directness of the language of the Grimm brothers and the elements of magic in the tales, and his illustrations to each of his chosen six focuses on his imaginative response to descriptions in the text rather than the more usual fashion of concentrating on the most important events in the narrative. For instance, he chose Old Rinkrank because it starts with the words A king built a glass mountain, and he was fascinated by the problem of drawing a glass mountain.   In one of the most disturbing stories, The boy who left home to learn fear, Hockney interprets the description of the sexton disguised as a ghost standing still as stone as a tall rock surrounded by stones, recalling Magritte’s paintings of ordinary objects made out of stone.
The work of engraving the copper plates was carried out by Hockney with his assistant Maurice Payne on special tables set up in the Powys Terrace studio.  The acid baths were kept on the balcony outside, because otherwise the fumes would have filled the whole flat. The finished etchings formed a more complex project than anything he had attempted before.  His new technique of cross-hatching instead of using aquatint achieves a much richer range of tones.  The fairy tale illustrations show an extraordinary range of imagery including portraiture, landscapes, architecture, imaginative compositions and pure inventions.

Henri Matisse Florilège des Amours de Ronsard Goldmark Art Uppingham





Henri Matisse

Florilège des Amours de Ronsard

A major exhibition of original lithographs 1948

















In 1941, now in his early seventies and much of the time confined to his bed, Matisse began one of his most complicated and successful printmaking projects, Florilège des Amours de Ronsard, illustrating the love poems of the 16th century poet Pierre de Ronsard. The work was to take seven years to complete and in its making Matisse’s sexuality was to find its most intense expression.
