What reading level is An Art-Lovers Guide to the Exposition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One shouldsit long at the edge of the lagoon opposite the rotunda, and watch theilluminated building itself and its reflection in the waters below, tofeel the full spell of it. No one should miss, either, the walk betweenthe peristyle and the main building on one of those nights when thereis soft local illumination, for nowhere else on the grounds has thepoetry of lighting been so perfectly realized.
The architect of the Fine Arts Palace was Bernard R. Maybeck, aCalifornian.
Sculpture The sculp...ture about the lagoon, including that under the peristyle androtunda, is to be treated in the next chapter, except that which isdefinitely a part of the building's integral decorative scheme.
The reliefs outside the rotunda, on the attic above the cornice, represent man's effort to gain the ideal of art. To see these reliefsbest, one should stand directly across the lagoon from the rotunda. Inthe panel facing East one sees the figure of Art personified. On eitherside is a group showing the champions of art combating centaurs, thatstand for the commonplace, materialistic things of life.
