What reading level is An Analysis of the Life Form in Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Waterhouse Hawkins, the well-known scientific artist, entertains the be- lief that the dragon is a reminiscence of an extinct reptilian shape, noticeably the Pterodactylian type. We cannot agree with him in such a conclusion. The form 01 the dragon is not a fixed one, and its varieties can better be accounted for by reference to familiar models than in seeking figures among such absolute novelties. Amid all the combinations making the dragon, the idea is craniped and limited. He is a mere piec...e of of patch- work — a monster by addition — each portion, when dissected, turns out to be an old acquaintance — here a bird-foot, there an owl's head, or a serpent's tail. Indeed who could expect man to have reconstructed to such suggestive forms the im- pression of a Pterodactyl, possibly received from a fossil ! Surely after the blunder of a Leibnitz, we may well declare the average man of the Middle Ages, if not of an earlier time, disqualified to testify on such a topic. To say that by coincidence man may have invented a "fabulous creature" like unto those that have lived in the past, is to make an assertion which cannot be supported.
