To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the case of fine arts there is, in the rangeof the means which art adopts, a certain limit, and beyond it illusionis impossible. Sculpture, that is to say, gives us mere colourlessform; its figures are without eyes and without movement; and paintingprovides us with no more than a single view, enclosed within strictlimits, which separate the picture from the adjacent reality. Here, then, there is no room for illusion, and consequently none for thatinterest or sympathy which resembles the inte...rest we have in reality;the will is at once excluded, and the object alone is presented to usin a manner that frees it from any personal concern.
It is a highly remarkable fact that a spurious kind of fine artoversteps these limits, produces an illusion of reality, and arousesour interest; but at the same time it destroys the effect which fineart produces, and serves as nothing but a mere means of exhibiting thebeautiful, that is, of communicating a knowledge of the ideas which itembodies. I refer to _waxwork_.
