What reading level is The Meaning of Pictures; Six Lectures Given for Columbia University At the Metropolitan Museum of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, too, there are painters who lose their indi- viduality — throw it aside to take up with the view of some other person who seems to have achieved more popularity. The majority of men break down in their ideals long before they are old. They may have possessed talent, and given voice to it in early years ; but it has been unnoticed, perhaps unheard.
They may have had impressions of their own ; but perhaps they have not proved attractive to the masses, or have not received the immediate reco...gni- tion to which their producers perhaps thought them entitled. Then they make the irretrievable mistake of trying to follow someone whose impressions seem to be in public demand. It may be that they follow Raphael or Titian or Velasquez ; but no matter how good a painter they may choose for a model, they have already committed artistic suicide. No one in this world of ours ever became great by echoing the voice of another, repeating what that other has said.
Are there not countless illustrations of this — illus- trations by whole schools of painters and sculptors in the history of art ?
