What reading level is Art for Art's Sake book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Should you ask a young Amer- ican painter what he means by the word, he might say to you that a true or a false tone in a painting is the exact counterpart of a true or a false note in a piece of music. The analogy certainly seems quite perfect. The color scheme of a picture, to be in tone, must be keyed to a certain pitch of color, and all the notes must harmonize with that pitch. If in a piece of music written in two sharps, notes be accidentally introduced belonging to the key of four flats,... discord would be the immediate result The musical flow would be broken by the introduction of alien sounds destructive to the melody. So if one paint such an Oriental scene as a Rose Festival, with the purpose of obtaining color-tonality, the whole piece should be keyed- to the color of rose.
The dresses of the women, the coloring of their hair and cheeks, the roses, the wall-hangings, the lounges and rugs must all be flushed with pink, so that if the canvas were placed on a revolving pin and whirled rapidly around, the coloring would blend into a uniform rose tint.
