What reading level is The Mistress Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor, as I have ventured to suggest, did it occur to the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and their successors. Morris did indeed attack detail in genuine earnest, but the con- ception of architecture as the architec- tonic art, the art that controls and holds the balance between the crafts, was hardly compatible with his ideal of art and life, and it was only the logical result of his ideal that this conception should be repudiated. In its place we have been offered the noble army of craftsmen, full ...of a laudable zeal for beauty, but hardly adequate in technique. It has been said that c the true root and basis of all arts lies in the handicrafts/ This generalisation would hardly stand analysis, but even if it was true it would not follow that the handicrafts constitute the whole of art. The ideal of unalloyed craftsmanship has been tried, and found wanting. It has shown once 1 10 THE CRAFTSMAN more the disastrous results that follow the divorce of craftsmanship from architecture.
I think, then, that you students of architecture may dismiss from your minds the idea that in order to be archi- tects you must qualify yourselves as handicraftsmen.
