Art Historian Talk

Maggie Cao, Associate Professor, 

University of North Carolina

April 18, 6pm 

At Crisp-Ellert Art Museum


Maggie Cao is a scholar of eighteenth and nineteenth-century American art in a global context. She studies the history of globalization with particular interest in intersections of art with histories of technology, natural science, and economics. Her first book, The End of Landscape in Nineteenth-Century America (University of California Press, 2018) examines the dissolution of landscape painting as a major cultural project in the late nineteenth-century United States and argues that landscape is the genre through which American artists most urgently sought to come to terms with modernity. Cao has also written on media theory, material culture, and ecocriticism. Her recent publications include essays on the print culture of the earliest worldwide financial bubbles and the materiality of export art made in eighteenth-century China.

She is currently finishing a second book entitled Painting US Empire: Nineteenth-Century Art and its Legacies, the first synthetic treatment of nineteenth-century art and empire in the global context. The project offers revisionist readings of globally-themed artwork. Subjects include landscapes of the tropics and Arctic, trompe l’oeil still lifes of imported goods, ethnographic portraits, and genre scenes linked to tourism. The book aims to connect historic American paintings to the flows of commodities and peoples through colonial systems and infrastructures in the decades leading up to formal U.S. colonization in 1898. It also tackles the legacy of American imperialism, connecting the metropolitan, Euro-American painters of the past with the more racially diverse global artists of the present. The book will be published by Chicago University Press in 2024.

Professor Cao received her doctorate in art history from Harvard University in 2014 and did postdoctoral work at Columbia University’s Society of Fellows before coming to UNC in 2016. At UNC, she teaches the history of American art from the colonial period to the twentieth century as well as courses on the visual histories of science and economics.

Professor Cao has received fellowships for her research from the National Humanities Center, the Terra Foundation, and the Smithsonian. In spring 2024, she will be a visiting scholar at the Getty Research Institute.
