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.

  • The Curious Case of Nat Tate

    The Curious Case of Nat Tate
    Apr 17 2026
    The art world is full of interesting characters. In so many ways, the artist‘s biography can be as important as their work. Nat Tate was an interesting character introduced to critics and tastemakers in 1998 when David Bowie hosted a dinner party to help launch a new book Nat Tate: Am American Artist 1928-1960. While the book has the sleepy title of a non-fiction book, it was actually a novel framed as a biography. Nat Tate was a tragic abstract expressionistic painter who destroyed 99% of his work before his untimely death. It was a compelling narrative of art and an artist lost to history. It was also pure fiction. While Bowie enlisted the help of a Picasso biographer to tell tales of Tate‘s interactions with Picasso, Braque and others, Nat Tate never existed. A week later, a journalist published a story of how important figures in the art world fell victim to this hoax. Oddly while Nat Tate was not real, there are real ”surviving” artworks attributed to him. In 2011, Sotheby‘s auctioned off a Nat Tate painting, Bridge No. 114, which sold for over 7000 pounds. ⁠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.

  • Artist Interview | Ian Capstick

    Artist Interview | Ian Capstick
    Apr 13 2026
    Ian Capstick’s creative evolution spans from theatrical performance and prop making to a high-stakes career as a political pundit and creative director. After years of advocating for marginalized voices in Canada’s capital through his agency, MediaStyle, Capstick transitioned into fiber arts, finding a new medium in "quilty banners". His work intentionally blurs the historical divide between fine art and craft, challenging the perception that textiles are merely decorative or domestic. Drawing from a pop art sensibility, his banners utilize bold, graphic communication to deliver clear political messages, influenced by his background in political soundbites and public policy advocacy.

  • Giotto | Ognissanti Madonna

    Giotto | Ognissanti Madonna
    Apr 10 2026
    Giotto di Bondone, born around 1267 near Florence, is widely recognized as a pivotal figure who transformed the trajectory of Western art by breaking away from the flat, spiritual symbolism of the Byzantine style. Legend, as recorded by the 16th-century biographer Giorgio Vasari, holds that the master painter Cimabue discovered Giotto as a young shepherd boy sketching lifelike sheep on a rock. During his apprenticeship in the bustling trade center of Florence, Giotto pioneered the use of chiaroscuro—the application of light and shadow to create three-dimensional volume—and introduced anatomical realism that made religious figures appear as if they had actual bones and muscle beneath their garments. His mastery of the fresco technique, which involved painting into wet plaster to bond the pigment directly to the wall, ensured that his storytelling and emotional depth would endure for centuries in major Italian cities like Assisi, Rome, and Milan. Giotto’s influence is perhaps most evident in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, completed around 1305, where he depicted raw human grief in scenes like The Lamentation. His later work, the Ognissanti Madonna, further showcases his ability to blend traditional medieval conventions with observable reality. While the infant Jesus is rendered as a "homunculus" or "little man" to symbolize divine wisdom, the Virgin Mary is depicted with a sense of physical weight and presence previously unseen in altarpieces. Beyond his artistic innovations, Giotto was a savvy businessman and a public figure, eventually serving as the chief architect for the city of Florence. Before his death in 1337, he designed the iconic bell tower for the Florence Cathedral, leaving a legacy as the "Father of the Renaissance" who bridged the gap between sacred symbolism and the human experience.
