Epochs of Chinese & Japanese art, an outline history of East Asiatic design
Epochs of Chinese & Japanese art is a 1912 survey of East Asian design by Ernest Fenollosa and Mary McNeil Fenollosa, published in New York by Frederick A. Stokes for general readers. Its plates reproduce ink landscapes, genre sketches and a figure study in grey wash and halftone, showing how East Asian painters handled mist, distance and empty space. A designer might take from them the economy of tonal wash and the use of atmosphere to suggest depth without outline.
