Legacy

[edit]

Following the Wiki precept "Be Bold" I am removing the unsubstantiated comment "His legacy is still uncertain, with some considering him a pioneer and others a fraud" I have read three biographical articles on Fenollosa in mainstream reference Works: "Dictionary of Art"; "Dictionary of American Biogarphy"; and "American National Biography". I have found no suggestion that he or his work was considered fraudulent. It may be that some individual at some time has made the charge, but if so it does not appear to be a consensus opinion.--Meb53 18:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Art Book

[edit]

He's acknowledged in the preface of Dow's Composition [7th ed, pgs 4,5]. Where he's described as a "philosopher and logician." The author also refers to him as "imperial art commissioner for the Japanese government." sPAzzMatiC 03:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
