What reading level is Painting in the Far East; An Introduction to the History of Pictorial Art in Asia, Especially China And Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With great naturalness of pose and gesture he has a profound sense of style, and swiftly seizes essentials. There is something rare about his art which matches the scarcity of his productions. Of these, some of the best authenticated are a set of paintings of the Thirty-six Poets, signed on the back and dated 1640. Here the painter describes himself as "be- longing to the lower stream of Tosa Mitsunobu," a description which indicates how he regarded him- self, as a painter of the Tosa tradition... who applied the Yamato style to a lower kind of subject than the artists of the court. These Thirty-six Poets followed, indeed, the Tosa treatment of such por- traiture, though with a new vitality supplanting the old stiffness. But Matabei's distinctive genius is far better seen in a set of four pictures of men and women playing games, painted on a screen as a part of the wedding portion of a Tokugawa prin- cess. Here we see what a powerful originator he really was. The Tosa style, long ago in the thir- teenth century, when Keion and Mitsunaga wielded the brush, so apt and free in depicting groups from the actual life of Japan, had frozen into utter formalism.
