What reading level is Line And Form (1900) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The skill and taste of the Greeksseemed to have been largely inherited by the artists of the earlierItalian Renaissance, such as Pisano, whose famous medal of the Malatestaof Rimini affords a splendid instance not only of the treatment of theportrait and subject on the reverse perfectly adapted to its method andpurpose, but also of the artistic use of lettering as a decorativefeature (see p. 203[f110]).
[Illustration (f110): Medals of the Lords of Mantua, Cesena, andFerrara, by Vittore Pisano o...f Verona (Middle of the Fifteenth Century). ] The treatment and relief of figures and heads upon the plane surfaces ofmetals and coins, the composition controlled by the circular form, havealways been a fine test of both modelling and decorative skill andtaste. Breadth is given by a flatness in the treatment of successiveplanes of low relief, which rise to their highest projection from theground, in the case of a head in profile, about its centre. The delicateperception of the relation of the planes of surface is important, aswell as the decorative effect to be obtained by arrangement of the lightand shade masses and the contrast of textures, such as hair and thefolds of drapery, to the smooth contours of faces and figures, and therectangular forms of lettering.
