What reading level is Artists And Thinkers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A portrait painter must not be a slavish imitator of nature; he must omit much that he sees slight dis- colorations and blemishes of the skin. His portrait contains more than is to be found in the face of the sitter at any given time, his aim being to liberate the spiritual import of the face, which is never given completely at any single moment in life, hence the deadness of so many photographs. He brushes aside the surface facts that cloud it; he goes straight to the heart of the essential. *... Rodin, who champions a theory of the significant not unlike that of Hegel, argues similarly on this * " Even the portrait painter, who has least to do with the ideal in art, must flatter his subject by omitting all externalities in figure and expression, in form, color, and features; he omits the merely natural of scant existence: the little hairs, pores, scars, blotches on -the skin. He must interpret his subject in his universal character and in his permanent spiritual cast. There is all the difference in the world between copying a face as it is on the surface, getting its quiet external form, and representing the features in their truth and in their expression of the man's very soul.
