What reading level is John Quincy Adams Ward An Appreciation Written for the National Sculpture Soci book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every line of him, from the peak of his high-crowned, broad- brimmed hat to the soles of his wide-flapped, square-toed boots, shows that he is not a person to be put upon by the fist of man or fate. His grave eyes, his firm lips, his lightly clenched hand all inform you that he is not spoiling for a fight, but is ready for one, if need be.
The Pilgrim has a full measure of that look which critics have found characteristic of Ward's statues — a look which says with the County Palatine, "If you w...ill not have me, choose. " In this. Ward has expressed something of his own conviction as an artist — his sense of the dignity of his calling, and of the eternal sacredness of a man's best. This serene "take me or leave me" of the Pilgrim is a triple mes- sage to us; it is from the subject as well as from the statue, and from the sculptor more than from either. Its language is that of deep conviction, not of shallow conceit; it speaks Ward's own emotions as a creator conscious of power.
Criticism of the sort that loves the high and dry distinc- 36 AN APPRECIATION tions of label and pigeon-hole will call Ward's work realistic rather than idealistic, objective rather than subjective, and will assume that both his merits and defects result from the qualities thus assigned.
