What reading level is Landscape Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In reference to drawing, however, this statement ap- [78] DRAWING plies only to that kind of good, sound, commonplace drawing which serves to uphold a picture in which color and sentiment are the main things; but noU of comrse, to the truly great drawing which is beautiful in and by itself, and which is one of the rarest qualities in all art — so rare indeed that the great draughtsmen of the world can be counted upon the fingers of one hand.
Of these probably Holbein and Leo- nardo were the mos...t eminent examples.
In the work of these two men the sense of refined and tender line was so ex- quisite that we should almost prefer to have it without color; and indeed when color was used to secure the added beauly of modelling, as in the ''Mona Lisa,'' it was always flat and conven- tional. It would be impossible, for in- stance, to imagine a Holbein painted in the impressionist manner of the [79] LANDSCAPE PAINTING present day. The grace of line whidi is this master's chief distinction would be destroyed by the modem method of applying the pigment: and this shows once again the futility of the frequent demand that a single picture shall con- tain in itself all of the manifold quali- ties of art.
