What reading level is Preferences in Art, Life, And Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are a few great traditions which are the property, not of a nation, but the whole world, and in these all painters, poets, and musicians have an equal share, but for the rest we are what God made us and shall be, and our painters must make what they can out of the rude material. After all there has been a good deal of stuff m. the nation in former days, perhaps even traces of the old divine fire may linger yet if they are sought for.
The truth is best, however unpalatable, and the truth i...s that there is no very great art in England just now. Much art there is of exquisite merit in its minor way, and some of which is imperfectly striving after the highest qualities. But of art serenely accomplishing work which will live, there is little or none. The perfection of Sir Frederick Leighton 's technique will not save his dainty -skinned damsels from the oblivion that awaits them ; they will not die, for they have never lived, but they will cease to charm. The portraits of Mr. Watts approach most nearly to the dignity and suggestiveness of great painting, and they have occasionally qualities of colour such as entitle them to rank with the highest.
