“King Lear”

Triptych, 72” x 146, oil on canvas, 2010

Lear is to Cordelia as Earl of Gloucester
is to Edmund as Fool to Lear as King of France
to wife Cordelia as Albany is to Goneril.
Cornwall is to Regan as Oswald to Goneril.
Lear weeps for eternity over Cordelia’s lost love.

The message of Lear transcends the

Centuries since written by William Shakespeare.

Remember that these were violent and very harsh times.

Given what we know of the world today how then do we live our lives?
