What reading level is Essays On Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet this fact is obvious ; for all art gets its very form from the fact that it is a method of address. A story is a story because it is_told, and told to some one not the teller. A picture is a picture because it is painted to be seen. It has all its artistic qualities because it is addressed to the eye. _ And music is music, and has the form which makes it music, because it is addressed to the ear. Without this intention of address there could be no form in art and no distinction between art ...and day-dreaming. Day-dreaming is not expres- sion, is not art, because it is addressed to no one but is a purposeless activity of the mind. It becomes art only when there is the purpose of address in it. That purpose will give it form and turn it from day-dreaming into art. Even in an object of use which is also a work of art, the art is the effort of the maker to emphasize, that is, to point out, the beauty of that which he has made. It is this emphasis that turns building into architecture; and it implies that the building is made not merely for the builder's or for anyone else's use, but that its aim also is to address an audience, to 68 The Artist and his Audience speak to the eye as a picture speaks to it.
