- Summary:
-
This book has its origins in a series of conversations. Instead of a simple narration of the 'art' or the 'psychology' or the 'biography' of the esteemed Australian artist Peter Trusler, the authors have collaborated to produce a 'thrice-told' tale. Unlike the usual meaning of repetitive or tiresome (as derived from the original Shakespeare "twice-told tale" in King John, ("Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man." King John, act 3 scene 4), our intention is to elaborate, elucidate and validate. We do this by telling the story of Peter's personal and artistic journey (which is ongoing) thematically instead of sequentially. Firstly, Peter's own words describe his artistic involvement with the themes we have drawn out. Secondly, his early psychological understanding and growth is commented upon by his first therapist, Dr Sandra Neil, a clinical psychologist, and concerns his growing confidence with the artistic, archetypally feminine side of himself. Thirdly, the story is commented upon by Dr Robert Silverberg, his later therapist, a physician in psychological medicine, and focuses on his growth and comfort with the self-directed, action-orientated insightfulness that accepts and values the more archetypally masculine side of his artistic journey. It is a single story told three different ways: 'thrice told'.
