What reading level is Modern Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They painted with the values--that is to say, with what remains on thepalette when abstraction has been made of the colouring matter--adelicate neutral tint of infinite subtlety and charm; and it is withthis, the evanescent and impalpable soul of the vanished colours, thatthe most beautiful pictures are painted. Corot, too, is a conspicuousexample of this mode of painting. His right to stand among the world'scolourists has never, so far as I know, been seriously contested, hispictures are almos...t void of colouring matter--a blending of grey andgreen, and yet the result is of a richly coloured evening.
Corot and Rembrandt, as Dutilleux pointed out, arrived at the samegoal by absolutely different ends. He saw clearly, although he couldnot express himself quite clearly, that, above all painters, Rembrandtand Corot excelled in that mode of pictorial expression known asvalues, or shall I say chiaroscuro, for in truth he who has saidvalues has hinted chiaroscuro. Rembrandt told all that a golden rayfalling through a darkened room awakens in a visionary brain; Corottold all that the grey light of morning and evening whispers in thepensive mind of the elegiac poet.
