Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages

Auteur(s): Kyle Wood
  • Résumé

  • 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.

  • Maurizio Cattelan | Strategies, Comedian and America
    Feb 25 2025
    Maurizio Cattelan is an Italian artist known for his provocative and satirical sculptures and installations that challenge the norms of the art world. His works often spark controversy and public discourse, blurring the lines between high art and everyday objects. Some of his most recognized pieces include, "Strategies," his mock up of a magazine cover intended to help him land a spot on the actual magazine's cover, "Comedian," a banana duct-taped to a wall, which sold for $120,000, and "America," a fully functional solid gold toilet that was once stolen from Blenheim Palace. Cattelan's art is often seen as a commentary on consumerism, celebrity culture, and the value of art itself. My guest this week was Tim Bogatz, host of Art Ed Radio from The Art of Education University (where you can also see articles I have written). In this episode, we referenced work by other artists.

  • Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Luncheon of the Boating Party
    Feb 24 2025
    Today, Renoir is remembered as one of the greatest painters of the Impressionist movement. His paintings are soft and delicate, but his life and his work was a painful struggle. Most painters pride themselves on their ability to work with their hands. They spend years practicing, developing fine motor skills and muscle memory to easily render a beautiful image, but Renoir’s hands weren’t on board with the plan. As his son Jean recounted “Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as ‘it isn’t possible! With hands like that, how could he paint those pictures?” In 1899, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was sticken with Rhumetiod Arthritis which not only caused painful inflammation of the joints. It left his hands deformed. While even the most minor movements of his hand or wrist would bring pain, Renoir persisted. He continued making beautiful paintings until his death 20 years later because as he said, “pain passes, but beauty remains.” Arts Madness 2025 Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament.

  • Nick Cave | Soundsuit
    Feb 23 2025
    Nick Cave, born February 4, 1959, in Fulton, Missouri, is a contemporary American artist best known for his "Soundsuits," wearable sculptures that blend sculpture, performance art, and social commentary. Raised in a large family that valued resourcefulness, Cave's early experiences with textiles and transformation shaped his artistic practice. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and later at Cranbrook Academy of Art. The 1991 Rodney King beating profoundly impacted Cave, leading to the creation of the Soundsuits as a response to racial injustice and a symbol of protection and empowerment. These intricate suits, made from found objects, textiles, and human hair, obscure the wearer's identity while creating a powerful visual and auditory spectacle. Cave's work extends beyond sculpture to include performances that engage communities and promote social change, solidifying his place as a significant figure in contemporary art.
