What reading level is An Art Philosophers Cabinet Being Salient Passages From the Works On Comparat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The result merely verified an old well- known principle. Extremes meet. The apotheosis of form, when the smoke of the incense clears away, reveals, enthroned on high, a Whitman; and not in any of Whit- man's works is there even a suggestion of that kind of excellence in form, which once his worshippers supposed to furnish the only standard of poetic merit.
Precisely the same principle is exemplified in painting, too. When an artist starts out with an idea that the sub- ject of art may be " anyt...hing, " of course he begins to develop the form for its own sake. He has nothing else to do. But form may mean many different things. With some, it means the imitation of natural outlines or colors. With some, it hardly means imitation at all. It means the development of color according to the laws of harmony. Even where the subject of art is a person, even in portraiture, there are critics who tell us that the result should not be judged by its likeness to the person depicted. It is not a photograph, forsooth.
