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.

  • Titian | Bacchus and Ariadne

    Titian | Bacchus and Ariadne
    Dec 26 2025
    Tiziano Vecellio, known simply as Titian, stands as the central figure of the Venetian Renaissance, dominating the art world for over sixty years with his revolutionary approach to color and composition. Renowned for his specific "Titian Red" and the lavish application of expensive ultramarine blue derived from Afghan lapis lazuli, Titian elevated the status of the artist from craftsman to nobility. His career included prestigious roles as court painter for Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and King Philip II of Spain, where he pioneered the concept of poesie, arguing that painting was a liberal art of visual poetry equal to literature. Bacchus and Ariadne (1520–1523) was commissioned by the Duke of Ferrara to replace a work originally intended for Raphael. This canvas bridges the gap between classical mythology and dynamic Renaissance storytelling. The painting captures the precise moment the wine god Bacchus leaps from his cheetah-drawn chariot to save the abandoned Princess Ariadne, freezing a narrative of heartbreak and instant love in time. From the referencing of the Laocoön statue to the constellation of the Northern Crown, Titian’s work exemplifies how loose, expressive brushwork and rich pigmentation can bring ancient myths to vibrant life.

  • Frederic Edwin Church | Aurora Borealis

    Frederic Edwin Church | Aurora Borealis
    Dec 22 2025
    Frederic Edwin Church stands as a titan of nineteenth-century American art, renowned for transforming landscape painting into a high-stakes blend of scientific exploration and cinematic spectacle. A star pupil of Thomas Cole, Church pivoted from his mentor’s moral allegories to embrace a rigorous "scientific realism" inspired by the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. This dedication led him to retrace Humboldt's paths through South America and the Arctic, documenting the "physiognomy of nature" with such botanical and geological precision that his canvases served as both high art and field research. His 1859 exhibition of The Heart of the Andes revolutionized art marketing; by charging admission to a darkened, theatrically lit room where viewers used opera glasses to inspect microscopic details, Church pioneered the concept of the "blockbuster" exhibition. The artist's legacy is physically immortalized at Olana, his Persian-style estate in the Hudson Valley, which he designed as a living three-dimensional landscape. Even as rheumatoid arthritis forced him to adapt his technique later in life, Church’s work continued to bridge the gap between the terrestrial and the celestial. His 1865 masterpiece, Aurora Borealis, exemplifies this intersection, capturing the eerie translucence of the northern lights through meticulous layers of oil glazes. Created at the close of the American Civil War, the painting serves as a profound meditation on the sublime—juxtaposing the fragility of the human spirit, represented by a ship trapped in ice, against the vast, terrifying power of the natural world.

  • Tamara de Lempicka | Tamara in a Green Bugatti

    Tamara de Lempicka | Tamara in a Green Bugatti
    Dec 19 2025
    Tamara de Lempicka remains the definitive icon of the Art Deco era, blending polished Cubist techniques with the glamorous, high-stakes atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties. From her harrowing escape during the Russian Revolution to her transformation into a Parisian socialite and eventually a Hollywood favorite, her life was a calculated masterpiece of self-invention. Her signature style, characterized by "soft Cubism" and metallic, architectural lighting, captured the spirit of the "New Woman"—independent, liberated, and sophisticated. Known for her relentless self-promotion and a portfolio of portraits that defined modern luxury, she became a favorite of the European aristocracy and the American film elite alike. The legendary self-portrait Tamara in a Green Bugatti serves as a focal point for understanding both the artist and the Art Deco movement. This work embodies the era's obsession with speed, industry, and geometric precision, rejecting the organic curves of Art Nouveau in favor of sleek, machine-age aesthetics. Although she famously curated her public persona—even swapping her modest yellow Renault for a high-performance Bugatti on canvas—Lempicka’s influence on the world of fashion and fine art remains undeniable.
