What reading level is Art And Environment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And these purposes and effects are the purposes and effects of the Byzantine style generally. They are reproduced in countless buildings throughout Eastern Europe, and more sparingly throughout Italy and Sicily, their appearance keeping pace jwith the spread and prevalence of Greek immigrants. But by all that draws them together they are separated from Santa Sophia. The gulf between them is the gulf between reason and emotion in human character and between form and colour in art. To conclude th...en, what I would suggest to the reader as the really significant quality in Santa Sophia is the exposition it gives of the nature of the arch as a structural principle. This is the " essential trait" in it, that which represents the intention of the architect and gives style to his work, and in comparison with this all other features are of superficial and negligible importance. In this, too, it seems to me, lies the building's chief source of historical and human interest, since in this respect it stands for the emergence, after long eclipse, of the Greek genius in its familiar role of expounder of the principles of art in vogue in the world.
