What reading level is Christian Art: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine Devoted to Current Church Building book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^ MONT SAINT MICHEL before stated, is that Gothic architecture (in the large sense and in the narrow) both in the disposition of its parts and in the forms which those parts assume, follows everywhere the line of least resistance, achieving beauty mainly and primarily by reason of the fact that in architecture any increase in fitness is apt to be also an in- crease in beauty. In Classic architecture, on the other hand, this principle yields precedence to considerations of pure or abstract beaut...y in the matter of disposi- tion, detail, and proportion, achieved by the employment of forms and arrange- ments developed by a process of selection and survival and having for that reason a less vital relation to the particular matter in hand than in the case of Gothic archi- tecture. Of course, because the art of architecture, be it Qassic or Gothic, is an accretion rather than a creation, even the Gothic, which is the Radical spirit, does not reject any form or any arrangement de- veloped by use and of proved beauty, so long as it, as well as another, tells a given story and accomplishes a given end, but as soon as it becomes inexpressive or inefficient by reason of some change in its function the Gothic spirit rejects it and creates a new one, whereas the Classic, which is the ultra-conservative spirit, continues to em- ploy It even after it has lost its rat son d^Hrey as the Romans employed the orders after jthey had developed the arch.
