My paper on morbid sublimity in J.M. Rugendas' depictions of slavery in Brazil is finally out. It explores how the picturesque, the sublime, and brutality collide in his visual narrative of colonial violence and white enjoyment.👇 doi.org/10.11588/xxi...

Who said that art historians cannot be cool? Many thanks @elisabethansel.bsky.social @schmidtfrank.bsky.social for making of my visit to Dresden such an unforgettable experience!

Excited to present at TU Dresden in what will be my farewell from Germany. Huge thanks to @elisabethansel.bsky.social for the kind invitation. If you're around, come by for my talk on depictions of slavery, twisted picturesque, and morbid sublimity in Brazil!
