What reading level is Turner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A bad painter would either explain too much, from mere knowledge, or else simplify to get rid of the difficulty; a painter who knew the value of mys- tery, and was able to render it, would show just enough of his objects to let the eye of the spectator lose them and find them again as it would in nature, with the same uncertainty about what they are. Turner could paint strongly and mysteriously at the same time, which gave a great charm to his work for cultivated eyes, though it had the disadva...ntage of offending the vulgar by not being intelligible to them.
Mr. Ruskin places Turner amongst the seven supreme colorists of the world, the other six being, in his estimate, Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, Correggio, and Sir Joshua Reynolds. I should say that Turner's color was often wonderful, often far below his best, and seldom natural. I should say, too, that he produced fine color much less habitually than Gior- gione, Titian, and Correggio, that he was often crude and violent, and occa- sionally hot, heavy, or dull.
