The Lonely Palette

I'm revisiting my review as I re-listen my favorite art history podcast, ever. Still feel the same!!! While listening, it's like seeing with your ears! You will experience works of art at a depth previously reserved for those with a fine arts degree. Quite a lot of fun, with wisdom inspired by or gleaned from the artist and works discussed ... the wisdom will sneak up on you at any moment! And what a voice! I could listen to this all day ... and have, many times.

The Lonely Palette is so well produced (the sound editing, the pre-prod research, the background music, the natural feel of the museum visitors that start each podcast, etc etc). More importantly, The Lonely Palette is so very entertaining and educational (two words that hardly go together). But that is the whole point of Ms Avishai … she wants us to feel the excitement of art and art history even if museums can feel aloof and stuffy. Museums are not inaccessible, they are as fun for me as the NFL is for football fans. And The Lonely Palette makes each art topic Ms Avishai wants to tackle as thrilling as seeing a Steph Curry three-point game-winner. 10/10 !

As an international student who struggled a lot in my art history class during college, I wish I found out about this podcast earlier!!! Tamar can go in depth on an art work, an era or an artist without overwhelming me. Her voice is calm, inviting and beautiful. I learnt so much from listening to her channel and felt like I can fall in love with art history too!!(instead of being intimidated by it)

I have been listening to The Lonely Palette off and on for years. It's a well produced show that is thought provoking. I find myself going back to the art several times during the show. I also think Tamar has a terrific voice for a podcast. Her pace is easy to listen to and she is engaging. I also enjoy when people are asked what they think of the art. I sometimes try to see what they see. Keep up the great work Tamar!
