What reading level is The Fine Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still more, we do not know how much further the future will carry us in the represen- tation of all that there is — either for itself, that is to say one's pleasure in it, or for a language to express feelings and meanings. None of us can feel that the representa- tions so far of nature are adequate, except perhaps in some few cases, and those perhaps chosen because of some special love. Even for me, as I go along, I see every day millions upon millions of pictures of nature, not as yet recorde...d either in their facts, if I may so call them, or in the light and air in which they are enveloped.
This point to which we have come, of looking at painting and its methods as not merely a habit accepted, but a history which we can record, is foreseen to some extent in the saying of Constable that "Painting is a science and should be pursued as an inquiry." We are also forced into a position of inquiry, and a position of teaching in a scien- tific way, because we are more or less the dependents of academic teaching, which replaced some centuries ago the best of all teaching: I mean the hand-to-hand teaching of the guilds — of the painters whose work was partly done 126 The Fine Arts by their assistants or their partners, and who taught by example in a still more direct way than a painter can to- day, in the usual practice of our now more selfish and secluded profession.
