What reading level is The Beautiful book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon our knowledge of the precise stage of such pictorialdevelopment depends our correct recognition of what things, andparticularly what spatial relations and locomotion, of things, thepainter is intended to represent. Thus when a Byzantinedraughtsman puts his figures in what look to us as superposed tiers, he is merely trying to convey their existence behind one another ona common level. And what we take for the elaborate contortions ofathletes and Athenas on Sixth Century vases turns out to ...be nothingbut an archaic representation of ordinary walking and running.
The suggestion of locomotion depends furthermore on anatomy. What the figures of a painting are intended to be doing, what theyare intended to have just done and to be going to do, in fact allquestions about their action and business, are answered by referenceto their bodily structure and its real or supposed possibilities. Thesame applies to expression of mood.
The impassiveness of archaic Apollos is more likely to be due toanatomical difficulties in displacing arms and legs, than to lack ofemotion on the part of artists who were, after all, contemporarieseither of Sappho or Pindar.
