He attended the MFA's art school before traveling to Japan in 1878 to teach at the Imperial University at Tokyo. After eight years, he helped found the Tokyo Fine Arts Academy and the Imperial Museum, acting as its director in 1888. In 1886 he sold his art collection to Boston physician Charles Goddard Weld (1857-1911) on the condition that it go to the MFA. In 1890 he returned to Boston to be Curator of the Department of Oriental Art at the MFA. There Fenollosa organized the first exhibition of Chinese painting at the MFA and developed the Department into a training center for generations of scholars. Fenollosa published "Masters of Ukioye," a historical account of Japanese paintings and color prints that were exhibited at the New York Fine Arts Building, in 1896. He inspired Boston collectors to venture into the relatively new field of Far Eastern art, endowing the MFA with one of the earliest and best Asian art collections in the United States. Fenollosa, together with Weld and another collector, William Sturgis Bigelow, formed what were known as the "Boston Orientalists." (Adapted from the Dictionary of Art Historians) Fenollosa served as a visiting lecturer at Yale University during the 1903-1904 academic year. Frederick Kingsbury Bull was a Sophomore at Yale at this time. (Source: "Catalog of Yale University, 1903-1904," New Haven, 1903). Condition: With mat burn, foxing, and discoloration to sheet.
