What reading level is The Conception of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That art may well plant its roots in the well springs of emotion no one will deny nor argue on the comparative excellencies of such art as is emotive and such as is not. By common consent the world receives more of this necessary pleas- ure which art may give from emotional work than from the coldly classic, but it is only a Bunthorne who asserts that classicism has no place in art because it neither has its seat in emotion nor excites it in the beholder.
One may read Macaulay and well imagine ...[107] THE CONCEPTION OF ART that the form of utterance fell, entirely shaped, from his intellectual apparatus with no more effort on the part of the emotions than that suggested by the machine of the mint which drops its exquisitely graven dollars as a result of perfected machinery. Given the materials, the idea, the brain of the writer applies the principles of his art so instinctively that the process is entirely an intellectual one. The choice to us, however, is between this sort of product and that produced, for instance, by Victor Hugo, Walt Whitman or Jean Jacques Rousseau in which varied grades of emotion are traceable; and no less an opportunity for judgment of the essence of art exists in a com- parison of David with Millet, Holman Hunt with Delacroix, Gerome with Gauguin, the conventional portrait statue of a Pharaoh with the martial group of Rude on the Arc de Triumph, To deny the quahties of art to the unemotional works of the above brief list would be to deny the basis of all art which those works surely possess.
