He read English at Cambridge University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1930s he received critical acclaim for his quirky Surrealist prints. These works were more experimental and dream-like. He worked alongside some of the most influential Surrealist artists of the day - Ernst, Kokoschka, Miro, Masson and Picasso. He also studied with S.W. Hayter at the prestigious Atelier 17 in Paris. He showed with the English Surrealist Group in 1936. Subsequently, he focused on more representative rural and Industrial landscape subjects.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1935, he set up his etching studio at Durham Wharf in Hammersmith, where he remained until he died in 1988. From 1955 - 1963, Trevelyan worked at the Royal College of Art and became Head of the Etching Department. He was an influential teacher, with students including David Hockney, Ron Kitaj and Norman Arkroyd.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54865727783291,"sku":"PLAN CHEST.
