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.

  • Wifredo Lam | The Jungle

    Wifredo Lam | The Jungle
    Jan 19 2026
    Wifredo Lam was a visionary artist whose work seamlessly blended the diverse influences of his multicultural heritage with the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. Born in 1902 in Sagua la Grande, Cuba, Lam was the son of a Chinese immigrant father and a mother of mixed African and Spanish descent. This rich cultural tapestry, combined with his early exposure to Santería through his grandmother, deeply informed his artistic vision. Lam’s journey took him from the traditional art academies of Havana and Madrid to the heart of the surrealist and cubist movements in Paris, where he formed a pivotal friendship with Pablo Picasso. His experiences during the Spanish Civil War and his return to Cuba in the 1940s further sharpened his focus, leading him to create works that challenged the status quo and celebrated the spiritual and cultural resilience of the Afro-Cuban people. Lam’s most celebrated masterpiece, The Jungle (1943), serves as a powerful reclamation of Afro-Cuban identity. While the title suggests a literal wilderness, the painting depicts a dense thicket of sugarcane—a crop deeply tied to Cuba’s history of colonial exploitation and enslaved labor. Through a unique visual language that merges cubist fragmentation, surrealist dream-logic, and the geometric forms of West African masks, Lam populates this "jungle" with hybrid, spirit-like figures. This monumental work, now housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, stands as a testament to Lam's goal of creating a "hostile" art that would "disturb the dreams of the exploiters." By reappropriating the very African motifs that European modernists had previously "discovered," Lam established a new form of modernism—one that was globally relevant yet deeply rooted in the personal and political realities of the Caribbean.

  • Constantin Brâncuși | The Kiss & Bird in Space

    Constantin Brâncuși | The Kiss & Bird in Space
    Jan 18 2026
    Constantin Brâncuși was a Romanian sculptor who made a significant impact on modern art through his abstract sculptures. His passion and dedication to art is legendary. In the autumn of 1903, he began a months-long walk from Bucharest to Paris, where he sought to immerse himself in the avant-garde art scene. Brâncuși's work, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on the essence of his subjects, often sparked controversy, as seen with his Bird in Space sculpture, which was challenged by U.S. customs officials who didn't recognize it as art. This led to a landmark court case that ultimately recognized abstract art as a legitimate form. Brâncuși's dedication to his unique artistic vision and his exploration of fundamental forms left a lasting legacy on the world of modern sculpture.

  • Amedeo Modigliani

    Amedeo Modigliani
    Jan 17 2026
    Amedeo Modigliani, a rebellious Italian painter, left a lasting mark on the art world with his distinctive style and captivating portraits. Born in Livorno in 1884, his early life was marked by illness and a dramatic incident that saved his family from financial ruin. Modigliani's art, influenced by diverse sources like Cezanne, Brancusi, and African sculpture, is characterized by elongated figures, long necks, and almond-shaped eyes. He moved to Paris in 1906, where he became a part of the bohemian art scene, despite struggling with poverty and rejection. His first solo exhibition in 1917 caused a scandal due to its nude paintings, but it also solidified his position as a major artistic figure. Modigliani's tragic early death at 35 cut his career short, but his legacy lives on through his unique artistic vision, capturing the essence of human emotion and form in his timeless works.
