Reviews

'This affectionate and nuanced portrait of Trevelyan adds considerably to our knowledge and understanding of a remarkable man who lived in interesting times and places, and whose response to both, in his art, his writings and his relationships, was always quickly sensitive and committed.' (Mel Gooding in his Foreword to the book) 'Julian Trevelyan: Picture Language ...is an anecdotal and appreciative account of [Trevelyan's] art. It makes riveting reading, but the real surprise is the richness and variety of the illustrations, many previously unknown.' (Andrew Lambirth, The Telegraph) 'Unhindered by self-importance or market concerns, [Trevelyan] is one of the free spirits in 20th-century British art. In this book he is rewarded with generous illustrations, while the text, by the artist's son, is straightforward and understated, yet never less than wholly engaging.' (Frances Spalding, World of Interiors)
