What reading level is The Harvard Monthly 37-38 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
von Mach, "that A RECENT BOOK ON GREEK SCULPTURE.
the appeal of a work of art is directed to the higher faculties of man ; but that it is made through the eye" The Greek took this into account, made allow- ances for the peculiarities of human vision, and his statues gave a physical pleasure to the eye. He never overlooked the humbler duties of art in per- forming its higher duties — ^partly, it might be said, because the physical and imaginative pleasures were not separate in his consciousness,... and one was not possible without the other. This ministration to our nature as a whiole, and not to one or another side of it, is what really constitutes an art as classic.
Dr. von Mach's criticism, by approaching the sculpture "from both sides" leads to a more reasonable conception of the function of form, or style, in art, and could be applied to other arts besides sculpture, correcting the common impression that form or technique is somehow uppermost in the classic ten^r.
The abiding satisfaction one gets from Greek sculpture is due partly to its freedom from physical discords, because that freedom permits the perfect ac- cord of every human faculty involved in the enjoyment of the art.
