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,

Vincent van Gogh | Sunflowers

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/12/16

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

2022/12/12

Andrew Fuller first earned viral fame with a pie that appeared to have a human face in it. He has appeared on a few shows: Halloween Baking Championship (2018), Candy Land (2020) but the Netflix hit baking competition show, Is it Cake? really catapulted him to the next level. On this episode, I talked with Nathan Ragland, host of Post Modern Art Podcast about Fuller and his mindblowing, hyperrealistic cake. You can find Post Modern Art Podcast on all the major platforms.

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

Today I want to introduce you to another show that covers history and the medium of film. The podcast, Based on a True Story focuses on movie history. Each episode covers a different movie that is based on a true story and tells us how the Hollywood version compares with actual history. Today I’m dropping an episode in my feed that I think you might like.

Jean-Michel Basquiat | Horn Players

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

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

Piet Mondrian | Composition with Red Blue and Yellow

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/11/28

Piet Mondrian is best known for painting primary colored squares and rectangles. For this episode, fellow art teacher, Jeff Arndt and I talked about the big ideas that led Mondrian to make such simple work. He pushed the ideas of modern abstract art farther than anyone else. Mondrian limited himself to basic elements of simple lines, shapes and colors to focus on the principles of design like balance and proportion. A common misconception about Mondrian is that his personal life was as bland as his

Dancing at the Louvre is part of Faith Ringgold's series of 12 story quilts called The French Collection and it is on the AP Art History list (it is one of 250 artworks American high school students study for AP Art History courses, which give them the chance to earn college credit). In her Dancing at the Louvre quilt, Ringgold is writing the story of Willa Marie Simone, a fictional character that seems to be inspired a bit by Ringgold and her mother. Willa moves to Paris, meets major figures like

JMW Turner | The Slave Ship

2022/11/21

I am sick with Covid and with the ups and downs of the illness, I wasn't sure when I would be up for recording this week. Consequently, I made this a mini episode with no guest, which is fine because it is on a topic that pretty much no guest wants to talk about anyways, JMW Turner's painting, The Slave Ship. Just as a side note, while I am mildly miserable at times, my experience of Covid would be a lot worse if I weren't up to date on my vaccines. Please be sure to get vaccinated if you are able

Your Brain on Art

I was asked to create an episode about how art affects the brain. I found there is quite a bit of research conducted by neuroscientists around the world indicating that engaging with the arts makes people smarter, happier, and healthier.

Georges Seurat | A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

2022/11/11

Georges Seurat | A Sunday on La Grande Jatte In 1894, George Seurat began going out to an idyllic little island away from the urban center of Paris. It was a place where people of various classes would relax. While the image is of people at leisure, Seurat was anything but relaxed. He was a disciplined artist on a mission to create a work that would be significant in art history. He spent years developing this work. He made dozens of preparatory sketches to work out the composition and

2022/11/04

In 1991, Marvel became the first comic book company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The newspapers declared “Spider-Man is coming to Wall Street.” It seems a bit unlikely that a character that’s part nerdy teen and part bug would become the face of the company and one of the most iconic figures in comic book history. Of course, everyone loves a good underdog story so for this mini episode, we are going to cover how Stan Lee and his friends created the Amazing Spider-Man. In this mini episode,

Today's fan pick episode is about Ivan Albright. Ivan Albright is considered to be a great macabre painter. He is known for his portraits and still lives that have a sense of rot showing the frailty of life. His style is considered magical realism. He meticulously rendered portraits that were unlike anything else in his day. In this episode, we discussed the painting he created for the film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray.

Fans voted Louis Daguerre as one of the most popular subjects covered in 3 years of Who ARTed, so I made a mashup of my two mini-episodes about Daguerre and the early days of photography. The history of photography has some really interesting and surprising facts. For example, the camera is about 2000 years older than photography. The earliest known camera obscuras were documented as far back as the 4th century BCE in China, while photography didn‘t really come about until the 18th Century. In the

Ai Weiwei is a contemporary artist best known for his tendency to be a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. His name is a blocked search term on some social media platforms, he was detained by the government, he destroyed and defaced ancient artworks, he modeled the Olympic stadium after a toilet seat, and he was a top rated blackjack player. He is quite possibly the most interesting man in the world. In this episode I talked to Nathan, the host of Post Modern Art podcast about Ai Weiwei and

The Unbelievable Story of Han van Meegeren

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/10/21

The late 1930s were a rough time in Europe. Nazis were on the rise, and museums began hiding their most treasured works or even shipping them off to safe locations. As all of these works were floating around in the art world and many pieces being hidden, Hans van Meegeren emerged as an art dealer with some lost Vermeers. As I explained in the previous episode about the Vermeer stolen from the Isabella Steward Gardner museum, there aren’t a lot of Vermeer paintings and much of his biography is
