     The original painters data contain the subjective assessment,  on
     a 0 to 20 integer scale, of 54 classical painters. The newpainters
     data discretizes the subjective assessment by quartiles with
     thresholds 25%, 50%, 75%. The painters were  assessed on four
     characteristics: composition, drawing,  colour and expression. 
     The data is due to the Eighteenth century  art critic, de Piles.
