What reading level is Modern Etching And Their Collectors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is, however, so little appreciation on the part of the public in general, and collectors in particular, of the many dis- advantages of their position, and of the difficulties with which they are faced, that in their interests I have reluctantly decided to risk incurring this displeasure, and to deal with the general position as I see it.
To collect etchings or any other work of art intelligently, a proper appreciation must be had of — (a) "The Artist. " (d) "The Dealer. " (c) "The Auction... Room. " Tke Artist, and I include the "true amateur, " as defined by Hamerton, looks for artistic merit alone. It is the boast of the true artist that he ignores cash values. Perhaps he does, except where examples of his own work are concerned. It would be the height of folly to collect anything from this point of view alone. For myself, I have often wondered whether the great interest I take in all works of art is that of the "amateur" or that of the "connoisseur" (vide Hamerton, Etching and Etchers, 3rd edition, pages 20-23).
