Biography
Trevor Tennant (b. Dudley, UK 1900-d.1980) trained at Goldsmiths College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London before teaching at several art colleges, including Camberwell School of Art (1930-4). His work has a broad scope, ranging from architectural commissions, including murals, through to figurative sculptures and portraits. Tennant’s early carvings were exhibited at the Royal Academy and in solo and group exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries, London in the 1930s. In the post-war period his small-scale bronze works appeared in a series of influential group exhibitions titled Sculpture in the Home staged by the Arts Council in the 1950s and 60s, which were the subject of an exhibition organised by the Henry Moore Institute at Leeds Art Gallery in 2008.
