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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-27T14:21:36.544760+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807"},"episode":{"title":"The Curious Case of Nat Tate (encore)","slug":"the-curious-case-of-nat-tate-encore","published_at":"2026-04-17T07:10:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807/the-curious-case-of-nat-tate-encore","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/211/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML6208701942.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/211/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML6208701942.mp3","summary":"The art world is full of interesting characters. In so many ways, the artist‘s biography can be as important as their work. Nat Tate was an interesting character introduced to critics and tastemakers in 1998 when David Bowie hosted a dinner party to help launch a new book Nat Tate: Am American Artist 1928-1960. While the book has the sleepy title of a non-fiction book, it was actually a novel framed as a biography. Nat Tate was a tragic abstract expressionistic painter who destroyed 99% of his work before his untimely death. It was a compelling narrative of art and an artist lost to history. It was also pure fiction. While Bowie enlisted the help of a Picasso biographer to tell tales of Tate‘s interactions with Picasso, Braque and others, Nat Tate never existed. A week later, a journalist published a story of how important figures in the art world fell victim to this hoax. Oddly while Nat Tate was not real, there are real ”surviving” artworks attributed to him. In 2011, Sotheby‘s auctioned off a Nat Tate painting, Bridge No. 114, which sold for over 7000 pounds. ⁠Listen Ad-Free on Patreon. ⁠ For just $3 per month, you can get ad-free versions of Fun Facts Daily, Who ARTed and Art Smart.
