Who Arted is art history and art education for everyone. While most art history podcasts focus on the traditional "fine art" we see in museums around the world, Who ARTed celebrates art in all of its forms and in terms anyone can understand. Each episode tells the story of a different artist and artwork including the traditional big names like Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol along with lesser-known artists working in such diverse media as video game design, dance, the culinary arts, and more. Who Arted is written and produced by an art teacher with the goal of creating a classroom resource that makes art history fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you are cramming for your AP Art History exam, or trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, we’ve got you covered with episodes coming every Monday.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    My Top 7 After 7 Years: Podcast Done.
    Oct 26 2026
    I have been making Who ARTed for seven years, and I appreciate everyone who has supported the show and learned along with me over that time. To wrap it all up, I put together a collection of seven of my favorite mini episodes. Learn about all sorts of works, including Paul Van Hoeydonck’s 1971 lunar memorial Fallen Astronaut and Alexei Leonov’s pioneering 1965 sketch made during the first spacewalk, to Katsushika Hokusai’s iconic ukiyo-e woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa, highlighting the dynamic tension between nature and Mount Fuji alongside the revolutionary adoption of imported Prussian blue. In classical painting, the enduring intrigue of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa demonstrates the optical nuances of Renaissance sfumato, anatomical study, and the cultural mythology amplified by its infamous 1911 theft from the Louvre. Bridging historical tradition with modern and contemporary experimentation, this overview details how unexpected materials and radical conceptual strategies have expanded the definition of visual art. The progression moves from Herb Williams’ high-concept sculptures constructed from hundreds of thousands of wax crayons, to the meditative precision, sacred geometry, and ritual destruction of Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas, embodying the philosophy of impermanence over material attachment. That exploration of presence and absence culminates in Robert Rauschenberg’s radical 1953 conceptual breakthrough, Erased de Kooning Drawing, which transformed meticulous erasure into a profound act of tribute, followed by Andy Warhol’s 1962 Marilyn Diptych, which appropriated religious altarpiece formats and commercial silkscreening to critique mass media, consumerism, and the tragic commodification of celebrity.

  • Author Interview: Doreen Carvajal | The Girl in Blue

    Author Interview: Doreen Carvajal | The Girl in Blue
    Oct 19 2026
    My guest this week was Doreen Carvajal, author of The Girl in Blue: Renoir's Portrait of a Dynasty Erased. In our conversation, Carvajal shared her insights into the girl behind the portrait, her family and what happened to them during World War 2. Find Doreen Carvajal online: https://www.doreencarvajal.net Buy the book on Amazon or your favorite bookstore. In 1880, French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir was hired by a wealthy Parisian family to paint their eight-year-old daughter, Irène Cahen d'Anvers. The resulting portrait, titled La Petite Irène (or The Girl in Blue), depicts a quiet young girl with flowing reddish hair, a pale blue dress, and piercing blue eyes. Renoir created the painting during an important shift in his career, combining his signature soft brushstrokes with sharp, delicate details in Irène’s face. Remarkably, he painted parts of the work using his left hand after breaking his right arm in an accident. Decades later during World War II, the masterpiece was stolen by Nazi art looters and traded among high-ranking German officials before Allied "Monuments Men" recovered it in Bavaria in 1945. Restituted to an elderly Irène and later acquired by the Kunsthaus Zürich, La Petite Irène stands today as both an Impressionist treasure and an enduring symbol of survival and loss.

  • Robert Longo | Men in Cities

    Robert Longo | Men in Cities
    Oct 12 2026
    My guest this week is Tim Bogatz from The Art of Education and host of Art Ed Radio. He was kind enough to join me to talk about Robert Longo. American artist Robert Longo rose to prominence as a defining figure of the late 20th-century art scene, widely recognized for his monumental scale, multidisciplinary projects, and cinematic aesthetic. His breakthrough series, Men in the Cities, created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, features sharply dressed subjects captured in extreme, contorted poses rendered in stark black and white. Working with friends and fellow artists, including Cindy Sherman, as models, Longo photographed figures in dynamic, off-balance movements on a New York rooftop before translating the imagery into towering graphite and charcoal drawings. The resulting compositions present an ambiguous tension between ecstatic dance and sudden physical impact, blending corporate aesthetics with an edgy, post-punk subversion. Beyond figurative studies, Longo's practice is defined by a mastery of medium, monumental scale, and subtractive drawing techniques. Approaching charcoal much like a sculptor, he applies dense layers of dark pigment and carves light and form back out of the surface using an array of erasers. This process yields dramatic, high-contrast works measuring eight feet or more, spanning subjects from massive ocean waves and wildlife to cathedral interiors and historical iconography. Combined with his work in music video and feature film direction, Longo’s photorealistic drawings interrogate power, modern culture, and the emotional impact of contemporary imagery.
