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.

  • Rachel Whiteread | Embankment

    Rachel Whiteread | Embankment
    Feb 17 2026
    Rachel Whiteread is a prominent British sculptor and a leading figure among the Young British Artists (YBAs) who rose to prominence in the late 1980s. Unlike the provocative work of her peers, Whiteread’s art is characterized by a quiet, minimalist focus on "negative space"—the empty air inside or around everyday objects. By casting these voids in industrial materials like plaster, resin, and concrete, she transforms the mundane into the monumental. Her breakthrough work, Ghost (1990), involved casting the entire interior of a Victorian living room, effectively turning a familiar domestic space into a haunting, solid artifact that captures subtle details like light switches and wallpaper textures in reverse. In 1993, Whiteread became the first woman to win the Turner Prize, solidified by her controversial public sculpture, House, where she cast an entire three-story Victorian home in London. Her career continued with significant international commissions, including the Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial in Vienna, also known as the Nameless Library, which serves as a poignant tribute to victims through the imagery of inverted, unreadable books. One of her most massive undertakings was Embankment (2005) at the Tate Modern, consisting of 14,000 translucent polyethylene boxes. Inspired by a box found while clearing her mother’s home, the installation explored themes of memory and the "unforgettable forgotten," utilizing the box as a universal symbol for how humans store and organize their histories.

  • Jean-Antoine Houdon | George Washington

    Jean-Antoine Houdon | George Washington
    Feb 16 2026
    Jean-Antoine Houdon was one of the greatest neoclassical sculptors in the late 18th century. Shortly after the American Revolution, the governor of Virginia asked Thomas Jefferson to find a sculptor to make a marble statue of George Washington for the state capital building. Jefferson was a self-taught architect and a big believer in the neoclassical movement's use of symbolism in art to convey a message that would leave the viewer wiser. He naturally turned to Houdon who traveled from France to Virginia to take Washington's measurements and even made a life mask (a plaster cast of the subject's face). Houdon created what many consider to be the most accurate representation we have today of George Washington. This is an encore presentation. Every January/February, I release daily episodes to refresh everyone's memory on the 64 artists and artworks that will be included in my Arts Madness Tournament held in March.
