What reading level is Modern Painting Its Tendency And Meaning book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A solid dark is con- ducive to peace, while quickly succeeding light and dark promote liveliness. Bearing these funda- mental postulates in mind we can easily analyse Picasso's quality of synthesis. The straight line which predominates in Cubism repudiates colour: the Cubists were not colourists. The curved 244 MODERN PAINTING line, when profoundly comprehended, expresses movement and fluidity; when used haphazardly mere prettiness results. There are seldom any curves in Cubism, and then only f...or relieving the monotony, for the sake of ornament. In the Cubists' scintillating succession of darks and lights, like a photographic negative of a Cezanne or an early Renoir, there is an unescapable femi- nine prettiness in which the twinkling of tone serves the same purpose as pretty colour. By their straight lines, subfuse tones and rigid forms, on the one hand, they achieve immobility. By their lights and darks, their curves and their dependence on nature, on the other hand, they reveal their emotional kinship to the illustrative schools of Whistler, Fragonard and Tiepolo.
