What reading level is Greek Sculpture Its Spirit And Principles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same device of undercut- ting has been resorted to in the mouth. Back of the lips the rows of teeth appear, and back of them a groove marks one deep plane of utter darkness. These carefully wrought eyes and this mouth make Meleager live and think before one. Let one replace them by HARVARD MELEAGER 281 an ordinary mouth and by conventional eyes, and the entire statue sinks back, as does the Vatican copy, to the commonplace.
In spite of some scratches and abrasions the Harvard Meleager shows... a delicacy of modeling which is hardly surpassed by the Hermes of Praxiteles. To run one's finger tips over the body gives one the sense of touch- ing actual epidermis and of feeling the blood course under the skin. The modeling of the left shoulder is especially sympathetic ; as in nature, one can feel and see the shape of the shoulder blade beneath the bolster of muscles and fat. Side by side with this excellence there are a few signs of carelessness in workmanship which conclusively disprove the authorship of Skopas himself, or any other original creator of the Meleager type.
