What reading level is George Frederick Watts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is more than this ; for these symbolical figures in Watts's paint- ings, though human in form, have a dignity that shows the artist to intend a nature higher than the human. The Assyrian, imagining the perfect being, united the intelligence of the man with the strength of the beast and the flight of the bird. The Greek, to the same end, wrought human figures of surpassing beauty and dignity ; and Watts, as we have already learned, used the language of Greek art.
He used it, but he also modif...ied it, adapting it to the needs of his own time. There is no such figure in Greek art as the Love of Watts's Love and Life. He uses also another language than that of Greece, as in the pictures Prayer and The D zee Her in the Innermost^ which assert a deeper union of the human with the universal spirit than was ever conceived by the religion that Greek art sought to embody.
68 GEORGE FREDERICK WATTS One has heard it said, and said by a teacher of religion, that Watts's pictures give no evidence of belief in a personal God.
