What reading level is Chardin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Like most of the masters of his day, like all that great school of the eighteenth century in France, so imperfectly understood, so maligned, and yet so original and so peculiarly French, he is above all else a colorist. On that point his contemporaries were not mistaken, "He is the painter, " cried Diderot, "who understands the harmony of colors and reflections. O Chardin, it is not white, red, nor black that you grind to powder on your palette; it is the very substance of the ob- jects themsel...ves. It is the air and light that you take on the point of your brush and fix upon the canvas. ... At times your painting is like a vapor breathed upon the canvas, and again it resembles a light foam which has been thrown upon it. Go close to it; everything is confused and disappears; draw off^, and all is reproduced, recreated. It is said that Greuze, entering the Salon and seeing one of Chardin's pictures, looked at it and passed on, sighing deeply. This brief praise is more eloquent than mine.
