What reading level is A Grammar of Greek Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At any rate, it was like the letting out of water when, towards the end of the sixth century, the red-figured method of vase-painting was introduced, though the black- figured method did not, for perhaps half a century, go out of use.
(5) Red-figured (Attic); severe (525-460 B.C.). — In this style the black silhouette was given up for outline figures drawn in black on the red surface of the vase, while the background was painted out in black varnish. The great advantage of the new process was t...hat inner markings could henceforth, instead of being cut with a tool, be drawn with the pen or brush.
Thus the formality of the design was greatly reduced, and a path toward freedom opened. What especially distinguishes red-figured vases from the first is the facility and beauty of the lines in which they are drawn. To speak of them as painted is barely correct ; the designs are essentially linear drawings, and x CLASSES OF VASES 157 as such they must be judged. It is in this fashion that the best known of the Attic vase-painters, Euphronius, 1 Brygus, Duris, and-the rest worked: their favourite form was the kylix.
