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.

  • Domenico Ghirlandaio | The Adoration of the Shepherds

    Domenico Ghirlandaio | The Adoration of the Shepherds
    Dec 8 2025
    Domenico Ghirlandaio stands as a titan of the Quattrocento, often overshadowed by his most famous student, Michelangelo, yet serving as the vital bridge between the early and high Italian Renaissance. As the head of a prolific family workshop, Ghirlandaio dominated the Florentine art market, capturing the spirit of the age by integrating wealthy patrons like the Medici and Tornabuoni directly into sacred biblical narratives. His mastery of fresco technique—skills he later passed to a young Michelangelo—graced the walls of the Sistine Chapel long before the ceiling was painted, establishing him as the premier visual chronicler of 15th-century Florentine society. Beyond his technical precision and workshop efficiency, Ghirlandaio revolutionized Florentine painting by embracing the gritty realism of Northern European art. His masterpiece, The Adoration of the Shepherds in the Sassetti Chapel, merges classical Roman symbolism with unidealized, rugged figures inspired by Flemish masters. This synthesis of high fashion, local architecture, and naturalistic detail offers a vivid window into the life, culture, and theological complexity of Florence at the height of its power.

  • Max Ernst | Forest and Dove

    Max Ernst | Forest and Dove
    Dec 5 2025
    German artist Max Ernst was a pivotal figure in modern art history, bridging the anarchic rebellion of the Dada movement with the psychological depths of Surrealism. Born in Bruehl and deeply scarred by his service in World War I, Ernst rejected the rigid rationality of his upbringing to explore the unconscious mind. His artistic evolution took him from the avant-garde circles of Cologne and Paris to a dramatic escape from Nazi-occupied Europe with the help of Peggy Guggenheim. Settling in Sedona, Arizona, his presence in the United States proved crucial in bridging the gap between European Surrealism and the emerging American Abstract Expressionist movement. Central to Ernst's legacy are his innovative "automatic" techniques, specifically frottage (rubbing) and grattage (scraping), which allowed chance and texture to dictate composition. A close analysis of his 1927 masterpiece, Forest and Dove, illustrates these methods in action. By scraping paint over textured surfaces to create impenetrable, fossil-like forests, Ernst juxtaposed the menacing power of nature with the fragility of the spirit, often represented by his bird alter ego, "Loplop." His work challenges the role of the artist, suggesting that creators should act as spectators to their own materials to unlock the hidden imagery of the subconscious.
