Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages

Who Arted is art history and art education for everyone.

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,

MC Escher

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/01/06

MC Escher is known for his tessellations, transformations and impossible realities. In many ways he defies categorization. His work is surreal with unexpected connections, but also very geometric and academic. Unfortunately, Escher was not super popular in the fine art world. A lot of the high-brow art establishment didn’t really like his work. He didn’t have the dramatic flair that a lot of well-known artists did. He was quiet and methodical in his work. He was in an odd space where he wasn’t doing

Barbara Kruger | Don't Be a Jerk

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/01/05

Barbara Kruger is a contemporary artist well known for her use of text and images. She started off in the late 1960s and 70s creating work reclaiming "craft" as a part of the feminist movement using materials that had long been marginalized. After she went to teach at UC Berkley, she started to gravitate toward words. In the late 1970s, she self published a book juxtaposing text and images. She would put a photo on one page and write a small poem or phrase on the page next to it. Her work really

Claude Monet | The Gare Saint-Lavare

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/01/04

Claude Monet loved his garden and made about 250 paintings of water lilies. He and his Impressionist contemporaries were focused on color, light, and how our eyes perceive the world, but I would say technology was also central to the development. In his paintings of the train station, The Gare Saint Lazare, Monet gives us a glimpse of iron and glass station filled with the smoke of the steam engines. One critic wrote, “Unfortunately thick smoke escaping from the canvas prevented our seeing the six

The Aztec Sun Stone or The Calendar Stone

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/01/03

The Sun Stone is probably the first bit of Aztec art I became familiar with even before I studied art. On its face, we see a beautiful image full of symbols laid out in radial symmetry that is just so visually satisfying, but as we look a little closer and get to know the symbols, this stone image is a lot deeper and heavier than I realized.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

2023/01/01

Basquiat as the artist himself was like tofu, able to soak up and take on so many different flavors. Middle class child, homeless teen, bankable star of the art world. He was a graffiti artist selling postcards on the street, celebrated painter wearing armani suits to work in his studio. Basquiat inhabited so many different worlds, people can pick the story that resonates with them because as Basquiat famously said, “I am not a real person. I am a legend.” It seems an impossible task, but I always

Paul Cezanne | Mont Sainte-Victoire

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/12/30

Cezanne is widely celebrated today, but he struggled early on. He was rejected by Beaux Arts multiple times. He went back home to work at the bank for a while but he felt compelled to pursue the arts and he persisted. He met other artists like Renoir and Monet who had also been rejected by academic establishment and many critics of the day. The supported each other and learned from each other. In 1863, people were so sick of being rejected by the Paris Salon, they actually set up “Salon des Refuses”

I will be releasing 64 mini episodes in 64 days to give you a quick refresher on all the different artists and artworks in the tournament. By the 1960s Roy Lichtenstein was intrigued by the ideas of pop art and began dabbling in the style. Of course, if you want fresh new ideas, the best source is often the younger generation. Roy Lichtenstein was pushed by his young son. One day in 1961, the younger Lichtenstein taunted his

Gustave Eiffel | The Eiffel Tower

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/12/27

The Eiffel Tower was by far the largest structure built for the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris. Eiffel was an entrepreneur and he had two engineers working with him to plan the iron tower, but not everyone was on board with the design. Audiences today may be surprised to hear that many Parisians thought the design was an eyesore and a blight on their beautiful city. The architect Stephen Sauvestre was commissioned to work on the design to make it less ugly. He drafted arches, glass-walled halls on every

Keith Haring | Three Eyed Smiley Face

2022/12/23

Today I want to talk to you about a few things. First off, as it is Friday, I want to share a fun fact about one of my absolute favorite artists, Keith Haring. One of his most famous and popular images, the three eyed smiley face came about by accident. In October 1981, Haring was invited to paint directly on the wall of the Annina Nosei Gallery. He was participating in a group show of Neo Expressionist Painting, because in the early days, that’s how Haring’s work was categorized. So he began

Zaria Forman is known for her pastel drawings documenting the environment and climate change. The thing is, her work is so much bigger than that statement would lead you to believe. Her works are not your average pastel drawings. First off, they are massive. They are of a size that forces you to stop and take notice. The choice of soft pastels is fitting as these drawings, much like the environment, are beautiful but fragile. My guests were Kaitlyn and Corbie, hosts of the podcast, Those Art

Vincent van Gogh | Sunflowers

While many artists took inspiration from all types of flowers Vincent van Gogh became closely associated with one type in particular. While he did color studies using several types of flowers, he loved the sunflowers. Vincent wanted to be known as the painter of sunflowers. The man and the flower became so closely associated that at his funeral many friends paid their respects bringing sunflowers to the funeral. The sunflower is an interesting choice though. Most artists shied away from sunflowers

The Buddhist monks of Tibet who are known for their tradition of sand mandalas destroy the work after completing it. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning “circle” but a mandala is not your average two-dimensional shape consisting of an outer boundary called the circumference made up of points all equidistant from a fixed center point. A mandala representation of the universe. While many people talk about Mandalas in reference to radial symmetry, mandala designs have spiritual significance

Jean-Michel Basquiat | Horn Players

2022/12/02

Jean-Michel Basquiat has created some of the most highly valued American paintings ever to go on auction. Basquiat sought to remake art history in his image, and I would say he was successful. His triptych, Horn Players, is one of the artworks required for the AP Art History curriculum studied by American high school students. In the middle of February 1981, a group exhibition opened at P.S.1 in New York. The show featured over a hundred different artists from the underground art scene. There were
