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":"Walter De Maria | The Lightning Field (encore)","slug":"walter-de-maria-the-lightning-field-encore","published_at":"2026-05-18T07:10:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807/walter-de-maria-the-lightning-field-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/ARML5282453500.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/211/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML5282453500.mp3","summary":"Walter De Maria (1935-2013) was a pivotal figure in Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Land Art, known for large-scale environmental installations. His significant works include The New York Earth Room and The Lightning Field. The Lightning Field, commissioned by the Dia Art Foundation and completed in 1977 in Catron County, New Mexico, comprises 400 stainless steel poles arranged in a precise grid, designed to interact with light and evoke the sublime. De Maria's art often explores themes of scale, human perception, and the relationship between nature and human intervention, emphasizing direct viewer experience over traditional art consumption.
