Why Epochs of Chinese and Japanese Art Matters
The book documents an important early twentieth-century attempt to present Chinese and Japanese art as a connected history of East Asiatic design. Its editorial history also preserves debates about names, pronunciation, illustrations, and the preparation of a complex art-historical manuscript.
The revised edition brings together Fenollosa’s original work, the editorial statement by Mary Fenollosa, and Professor Petrucci’s scholarly corrections. It offers a substantial archival resource for readers examining the history of Asian art writing and design.
