What reading level is Meissonier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Underlying this whole matter of smallness there is, without any paradox, a rather big ques- tion. Beyond doubt, material dimensions in works of art are not taken into consideration, so long as these dimensions remain within mod- eration. It is equally certain that, short of introducing revolutionary modifications into our 42 MEISSONIER aesthetic creed, we would refuse to accept as a work of art anything that exceeded too far these limits of moderation, or fell too far below them. Is it not the ...same in life and in society, where exaggerated giants and undersized dwarfs find that they are outcasts, each in his own way, outside the common law, and regarded simply as curiosities?
Granted: but what is the limit? Does Meis- sonier surpass it, and are his pictures too small?
Very well, let us answer categorically: no! No, they are not too small, considering, first of all, their subject; secondly, their mode of pre- sentment, their composition, their treatment as to decoration; and, lastly, the vividness and intensity of their details.
