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.

  • Wayne Thiebaud | Pie a la Mode

    Wayne Thiebaud | Pie a la Mode
    Jan 21 2026
    Wayne Thiebaud is known for his paintings of everyday objects. Born in 1920, Thiebaud's early experiences as a sign painter and an apprentice animator at Walt Disney Studios shaped his understanding of visual communication and iconic forms. Though often associated with the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Thiebaud’s approach was distinct. While artists like ⁠Andy Warhol⁠ embraced mechanical reproduction, Thiebaud celebrated the painter's touch, using thick impasto, brilliant colors, and strong shadows to bring his subjects to life. His signature works feature commonplace items, particularly diner foods like pies, cakes, and gumballs, transforming them into objects of formal study and cultural nostalgia. Thiebaud's career gained national recognition following his inclusion in the landmark 1962 exhibition, "New Painting of Common Objects," at the Pasadena Art Museum. A deep dive into one of his early masterpieces, Pie a la Mode (1961), reveals the key elements of his style: the luscious, tactile quality of the paint, the signature halos of color outlining the object, and the ability to find artistic complexity in the simple pleasures of American life. Beyond his famous still lifes, Thiebaud also applied his unique vision to compelling landscapes of San Francisco and detailed figure paintings, solidifying his legacy as one of America's most beloved painters and a dedicated long-time professor at the University of California, Davis.

  • The Ardabil Carpet

    The Ardabil Carpet
    Jan 20 2026
    The Ardabil Carpet, a masterpiece of 16th-century Persian weaving, represents a pinnacle of Safavid art. Though associated with Ardabil, scholars suggest it may have been woven in Kashan, a prominent center for carpet production during that era. Commissioned during the reign of Shah Tahmasp I (1501-1736 CE) for the Shrine of Shaykh Safi al-Din Ardabili, this monumental wool pile carpet on a silk foundation measures an impressive 34 feet 6 inches by 17 feet 5 inches and boasts over 25 million knots. The carpet's intricate design features a central medallion surrounded by elaborate floral motifs, scrolling vines, and arabesques, reminiscent of a lush garden, a common theme in Islamic art. Notably, two asymmetrical mosque lamps hang from the central medallion, symbolizing divine knowledge and adding to the carpet's sacred context. Inscriptions include a couplet from the poet Hafiz, emphasizing devotion and humility, fitting for a piece created for a revered shrine. Dated 946 AH (1539-1540 CE), the Ardabil Carpet's precise dating is a rare and valuable historical marker. Its acquisition by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1893 significantly elevated the recognition of Islamic art in Western collections, and its enduring influence continues to inspire textile art and design globally.

  • 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.
