What reading level is The Story of Two Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
: The ideal of self expression, "Art for Art's sake," or he strives to express the ideal of the ideal. You may have a portrait painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds or by Gilbert Stuart which is a perfect expres- sion of art and at the same time, an imperfect presentation of the subject. Such is not the case with Chretien's art. With the "Physionotrace," he took pictures from life with mathematical accuracy. Then he used the crayon. His ideal was the perfect presentation of the subject, which could on...ly be attained by the use of a mechanical instrument, such as he invented. In a word, you have in this portrait of General Davie the founder of your University as he really and actually was. You have General Davie in the flesh. Mr. James B. Heyward of Cartersville, Ga., whose wife was Sallie Bedon, grand daughter of General Davie, stated in a letter (September 26, 1920) that he lived in Chester County, S. C, 1873-1875, and that he was intimate in the Davie home and that he was of the opinion that there was a family portrait of General Davie.
