Description
I have pondered the contemplative life, wondering how it could be useful or applicable to one in the twenty-first century. Might it be useful-even in this age of high-speed electronics, of smart phones, and Wikipedia-or should it be consigned to the annals of history to days when life was apparently simpler and quotidian challenges easier to resolve? Reduced to its essentials, the life of a recluse or eremite might, after all, prove to be instructive, freeing, and liberating. It might still be generally relevant.

Person
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.
