What reading level is Nature in Ornament book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The designer can hardly make too many studies from nature, but he can easily make bad use of those he has made, and easily encumber himself with them. A man can design quite freely only when the burden of natural fact is so familiar that to him it ceases to be a burden. Refreshing as it may be to refer to his studies, or to Nature herself, he cannot design with either in front of him.
The actual thing is not malleable enough for his purpose, whereas an impression or a memory of it accommodates ...itself in the most surprising manner to the conditions of the case, and the necessary modification occurs as though it were a matter of course.
86 Nature in Ornament.
In our happiest moments that is so. At other times the question as to the necessary modification has to be deliberately decided.
It is not possible to lay down any limit as to the degree of naturalism permissible in ornament, or to say that the most natural rendering may not sometimes be the best.
The conditions of the case may determine the elimination of the natural element in design altogether, or permit it to rule para- mount : they determine the degree of modifi- cation necessary, or the degree of naturalness permissible.
