To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So with painting and sculpture: consider the average American abroad, who spends an occasional free hour "doing" a gallery — a phrase as of- fensive in expression as it is pathetic in mean- ing. One sees the groups of tourists surging through the gallery, from room to room, and one wonders whether the result can be other than a confused blur of impressions, while one blushes for one's countrymen. Even with lit- erature, careless reading and whimsical re- sponse are more frequent than sound appr...e- ciation. No, opportunities to enjoy beauty are not enough; with art, as with nature, there must be added the conscious study of beauty for the sake of subsequent appreciation. Thus when one enters a new gallery of paintings, instead of wandering through, and blurring one impression with a hundred others, let one select two or three great works and try to master them.
