What reading level is Portfolio Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SEBASTIAN. FROM THE ENGRAVING BY ALBERT DURER.
Style. 265 adding these qualities to painting or drawing are by- no means confined to the arts which deal with the human figure. The gain is more obvious in those arts, but it is not less real in landscape, in which a thoughtful and poetic mind will subtly infuse the results of its own thought and learning, as we see, for example, in the landscapes of Samuel Palmer, from which the intellectual and poetic element is never ab- sent, whilst every such... composition is associated in the mind of the artist with noble work in literature and art bequeathed by his great predecessors.
The criticism of the eighteenth century had a noble ambition in view with its respect for the Grand Style, though its definitions are imperfect. The reaction against it went too far when some artists of the present century discarded style altogether, and ac- cepted as fine art the most literal rendering of the most commonplace material. We have seen that technical style, or manual skill, in painting can hardly be compared with anything in the work of a writer, because what really corresponds to it in literature is done by printers ; but when we come to intellectual style the comparison is fair, and it may help us to understand the value of such style in painting.
