What reading level is The Art of Rodin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rodin is much closer to the Egyptians, the archaic Greeks, the Chinese, who felt the beauty of the form and fashioned it like craftsmen who love the stuff they work with, than were the aca- demic idealists who fought him in the name of the "sacred traditions of the past. " Rodin's art was at one with all great art in its directness of inspiration. The nude is in a sense an anachronism, and it was almost inevitable that the feel- ing for the beauty of the body in its free movements should have b...een lost and forgotten, even amongst sculptors. For the Greeks, who saw the body nude or lightly draped, the figure was as expressive as the face of an emotional person. But to-day the academic sculp- tor models an attitude from selected figures, using the bust ot one, the legs of another, the arms of a third, 20 AUGUSTE RODIN the head of a fourth. Rodin, like the . Greeks, saw beauty in the simple natural movements of the body. This made him seem a revolutionist, but the respect for the grace of the body's gesture consistent in all its lines is as old as all great sculpture.
