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, trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, or just looking to hear something with a more positive tone, we’ve got you covered with episodes every Monday and Friday.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    Claes Oldenburg (encore)
    Jul 3 2026
    Claes Oldenburg (1929-2022), the Swedish-born American sculptor, wasn't your typical artist. He wasn't interested in grand figures or historical scenes. Instead, he found inspiration in the most unexpected places: the everyday objects that cluttered our lives. His art, a blend of Pop Art and gigantic whimsy, continues to transform cityscapes around the world. I am taking some time off to rest over the summer. I will be putting encore presentations of previous episodes to make it easy for those who subscribe to the feed to discover or rediscover some great artists/works. I will be back with new episodes right around back to school season.

    Jack Kirby (encore)

    Jack Kirby created some of the biggest names in the golden age of comics including: Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk. He basically populated the Marvel Universe. In 1970 though he felt like he wasn't getting the credit he deserved there and left Marvel for DC. There he created a series, Fourth World which I imagine he thought would demonstrate his brilliance and make Marvel wish they hadn’t blown it with him. The series was a commercial flop so maybe not the great “I told you so” he likely envisioned as he left Marvel for their rival, but some of the New Gods from the series live on in the DC Universe. ⁠Listen Ad-Free on Patreon. ⁠ For just $3 per month, you can get ad-free versions of Fun Facts Daily, Who ARTed and Art Smart.

  • TLDR Sol LeWitt

    TLDR Sol LeWitt
    Jun 26 2026
    Sol LeWitt was a pioneering American artist who played a crucial role in defining the Minimalist and Conceptual art movements. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1928 to Russian immigrant parents, LeWitt pursued his early education in fine arts at Syracuse University before serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Following his military service, he moved to New York City in 1953, where he immersed himself in the shifting art scene, studying at the School of Visual Arts and working as a graphic designer for the architect I.M. Pei. While working at the Museum of Modern Art in 1960 alongside other emerging artists like Dan Flavin and Robert Ryman, LeWitt began to actively reject the emotional subjectivity of Abstract Expressionism. His theories shifted the focus of artmaking from physical craftsmanship to intellectual concept, famously asserting that the idea behind a piece serves as a machine that generates the artwork itself. LeWitt’s revolutionary style took the form of three-dimensional "structures" often utilizing open geometric progressions based on the cube and his famous, large-scale wall drawings. Beginning in 1968, he stopped executing these wall drawings himself, instead authoring sets of instructions and diagrams for assistants or gallery technicians to follow. A prime example of this methodology is Wall Drawing #118, first executed in 1971, which relies on a strict instruction to place 50 random points on a wall and connect them all with straight lines, mathematically yielding exactly 1,225 lines regardless of who installs it. Beyond his independent creative output, LeWitt was deeply integrated into the artistic community as an avid collector, amassing thousands of pieces primarily by trading his own work with contemporaries. He continued his influential practice in Connecticut until his death in 2007 at the age of 78. ⁠Listen Ad-Free on Patreon. ⁠ For just $3 per month, you can get ad-free versions of Fun Facts Daily, Who ARTed and Art Smart.
