What reading level is Essentials in Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They recommend the taking of lessons from nature in the use of the brush. They declare that strokes should convey such impressions as we would receive from towering mountains, rushing currents, rampant dragons, raging tigers, wind-tossed trees, rising clouds, dripping dew, etc. . In truth, the more of such symboUc ex- pressions a writing bears, the richer it becomes in beauty and grace. A chaotic medley of fantastic flourishes does not, how- ever, conduce to ideal beauty : at the bottom there m...ust be the individup,l mind to imify all the symbolic signs written." Writing was thus to some extent just as much as painting an imaginative symbol for the spiritual significance of things and thoughts, though, of course, more than its sister art bound and Umited 38 RHYTHM AND FORM by a practical purpose. It had to comply with the requirements of intellectual definition and could not develop as freely as painting along lines of purely aesthetic expressiveness. But the best writing was always distinguished by a highly pictorial character and was praised by native critics for its sjmibolic significance.
