What reading level is The Significance of Art Studies in Analytical Esthetics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


For this reason we slip unconsciously into^ the convention of calling color, and not the colored substance, the material of painting. We schematize our visual sensations accord- ing to their hue, their value, and their satu- ration, just as we formalize color schemes in a laboratory. We abstract their color quality^ from all their other sensory characteristics, and have thereby, as it were, already idealized our material before we have begun to use it. Our material medium is thus becoming, not
...less important in technic, but more subordi- nate in significance. Our paintings may shift from wood or plaster to canvas, without seri- ous change, in a manner quite impossible to imagine in sculpture. Moreover, the absolute size, which makes such a difference in sculp- ture and architecture, does not figure as sig- nificantly in painting. Size again, as well as 93 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ART weight, are distinctly substantial concerns. Matter is expressing its own essence when it impresses us by its rigidity, its size, its weight, and pressure, and the fact that we classify statues quite defensibly as figurines, at an ab- solute size where a painting has by no means become a miniature, shows that we are not as sensitive to this factor in the art of painting.
