What reading level is Painting in the Far East An Introduction to the History of Pictorial Art in As book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Liveliness and humour are more salient features ^ than intensity or grandeur. Mr. Freer has col- lected in China a considerable number of paintings of this type, works of varying quality, some doubt- less originals, others more or less ancient copies. We cannot doubt that in this type of work we find the authentic vestiges of Li Lung-mien. The type is represented also in European collections. A 135 PAINTING IN THE FAR EAST roll, which claims with some reason to be an original, is in the possess...ion of Dr. Bone of Dusseldorf, who has published portions of it, with an essay, in the magazine devoted to Asiatic lore called T'oung Pao* This also is a painting of Arhats. In the British Museum are two copies of a rolUpicture of the " Sixteen Arhats crossing the Sea to Paradise, " the original of which must obviously have been of strange beauty. In the same collection are two variant copies derived from another original roll which represented a curious subject : Demons attacking the bowl in which Buddha had placed the demon-mother's favourite child.
