    About this ebook

    Timon of Athens might be regarded as the ancestor of Molieres Les Misanthropein that Alceste seems to embody all the negativity of Timon. Timon also illustrates the error of equating friendship with finances.

    He finds that his idealization of friendship has been an illusion (Mowat, xiv).
    He is, thus, a man nobly but unwisely generous (Hinman, 17).
    The play, itself, is one which its author never quite finished (Hinman, 27).

    Author

    Donald Richardson

    Donald Richardson OAM, a senior practicing artist and retired long-term educator in art, design and art history, has never been satisfied by historic writing in the field. In this book, he summarises and deconstructs key documents and marshals the clamouring desperation of many for redress and restitution. In the process, he proposes innovations for education and practice (in particular relating to perspective rendering and form). More generally, he proposes that the aesthetic be recognised as a sense of universal human relevance and value.
