What reading level is The Meaning of Pictures Six Lectures Given for Columbia University At the Metro book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If you cannot feel the mystery, the sadness, the splen- dor of it all, I am afraid it argues some want of mu- sic and romance in your soul rather than a want of poetry in the opera. The feeling is there ; it is the last thing perhaps to be recognized by the student of music, and yet it is the one thing above all others that has made Wagner a great poet. He could sug- gest more than he could describe, and because he sug- gests and does not describe is one reason why he is, at first, so difficult... to understand.
The picture in this respect, is not different from music or literary poetry. Poetic feeling in painting may be and has been shown in many subjects and in many ways. If we go back to the Gothic period in Italy, when the painters were just emerging from mediaevalism, we shall find a profound feeling for re- ligion. It shows in Giotto and the Florentines, in Duccio and the Siencse. They do not know how to draw, color, or light a picture correctly ; they are just learning to paint, and like children they feel in- XIX.
