What reading level is The Classic Point of View Six Lectures On Painting Delivered On the Scammon Fou book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet Rembrandt was always tell- ing stories. His public did not want them ; it wanted nothing of him but portraits that should be like; and when his portraits ceased to be neat and obvious likenesses it wanted nothing of him whatever. Yet he painted stories over and over again, his etchings are filled with stories, and, more than all, his drawings, which the public never saw, are one long series of illustra- tions. He was haunted with stories from which he could not escape and to which [50] THE ...SUBJECT IN ART he returned again and again, illustrating their every phase and turning and twist- ing them in every aspect. There is the story of Lot, the story of Joseph, the story of Tobit, for each of which he made al- most numberless drawings, and the story of Christ, which is the subject of his great- est etchings. He was a great painter, a great master of light and shade, a portrait painter who has excelled all others in the rendering of the human soul behind the features ; but more than anything else he was a great story-teller, and his imagina- tive grasp of a story and his power of so telling it that it shall seem real and imme- diate to us, as if it had actually happened before our very eyes, is perhaps the most wonderful of his many wonderful gifts.
