An enlightened journey through every episode, by taking an artist, artwork or art movement each time the history of society and humans is picked apart. A fantastic production, recommended to everyone. I am most grateful to Tamar and the whole production team. Continue the great work!

reawakened my joy in looking at art and visiting museums.

Description

Welcome to The Lonely Palette, the podcast that returns art history to the masses, one painting at a time. Each episode, host Tamar Avishai picks a painting du jour, interviews unsuspecting museum visitors in front of it, and then dives deeply into the object, the movement, the social context, and anything and everything else that will make it as neat to you as it is to her.
