Book Overview
Ernest F. Fenollosa examines the historical development of Chinese and Japanese art in an outline of East Asiatic design. The edition records the preparation and revision of Fenollosa’s manuscript, including editorial work on historical dates, names of temples, artists, and related terminology.
The foreword explains that the original work was published in 1912 after years of preparation and assistance from artists and scholars. It also describes the careful revision made for this edition by Professor R. Petrucci, of the Sociological Institute in Brussels.
