My article 'John Martin and the Art of Infrastructure' is out now on nonsite! In it, I explore the importance of infrastructure for John Martin and for nineteenth-century British art more broadly.

the real scandal is that this isn't a bigger scandal; it's accepted as just a slightly warped version of normal.

Got to spend a dreamy afternoon with @titachico.bsky.social and St A colleagues talking about khipu and Chladini plates and thermometers and mining diagrams and mica, just a few of the early modern instruments through which we understood ourselves and our world

My new book 'Picturing Landscape in an Age of Extraction, 1780-1850' will be published next year by the University of Chicago Press! It asks: how did various forms of picturing make the natural world assimilable to the protocols of extraction in Europe and its colonial networks?

amazing essay by stephanie on the displacement of an early "lateral framework" of mineral mapping in favor of an emergent "vertical logic" of stratigraphy & extraction, which "came to dominate the visual culture of mining and geology."

Although it's a "romantic" landscape, someone viewing this painting circa 1820 would have instantly recognized it as a modern, artificially planted, and highly managed woodland. In it, Friedrich portrays the beauty of the technocratic values of resource management. Friedrich, Evening, c 1820

just taught a week on the colonial and commercial history of pigments and suddenly this painting - with its Prussian blue and Indian Yellow - looks unfamiliar and interesting

'Art, Science, and the Body in Early Romanticism' is now out in paperback! This discount code, which is good for the next 12 months, offers 20% off. Art history books are often prohibitively expensive, so I'm thrilled this is available at a more accessible price.
