What reading level is The Classification of the Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are physical arts, because, like all such arts, they realize the ideal by the exercise of manual or mechanical operations upon brute matter. The artist who paints a picture em- ploys pigment and canvas and brush. To be sure he is supposed to ' mix his paint with brains/ but there is nothing essentially unique in this. Mortar should be so mixed and dough. The sculptor uses stone and a chisel. The mechanical part of his work is turned over to the machine, from which he himself is free. His a...rt differs in no inherent and absolute respect from that of the industrial artist. Carving a statue to please the eye ought not to differentiate the ( artist ' from the laborer who carves a chair to relieve us of ' that tired feeling. ' If the one act is accompanied by pleasure, and a manifestation of the beauti- ful, while the other is not, it is due to factitious circumstances.
It is not to be denied, of course, that the fine arts are the most highly cultivated of all the arts. Their possibilities have, perhaps, been more completely realized than those of the other arts.
