“This is a wonderful podcast. But I MISS IT. I hope more episodes are in the offing. Tamar’s narration is full of insight and fascination. The topic is foreign to me, yet I feel welcome here. My library would not be complete without it.”

“I’ve only listened to the Sargent episode, but found myself rewinding the track to really digest the information. I thought it was a brilliant analysis, thoughtful and well delivered. Strongly recommend.”

“The art history podcast that has been missing from my life. So accessible and engaging. My only complaint is I wish each episode were longer, so I could learn more.”

“The tone, the voice, the context all a most enjoyable way to spend time and listen to information you wouldn’t have known even though you well know the painting. Brings art to a new place. Love how the artwork is first described by several people. I listen while I bike or walk or make the bed...”Read full review »

“The show is called Lonely Palette, a play on Lonely Planet, but rather than introducing the richness of an entire world of art, the program is just more praising of the art of white people and only giving a token nod to the art of non whites. It’s already 2023, yet the host still thinks it’s the...”Read full review »

“Tamar beautifully crafts the story and context of the moments each piece was created in. Tamar is to art history what Spiro Kostoff was to architecture, and equally as engaging as she paints masterpieces with words.”

“I have never liked or rated a podcast before. I love art history and so I did a search for podcasts and was surprised to find so many of them. I tried one that rhymes with BartFurious but it devolved into a formulaic offering from a content conglomerate. Another that rhymes with Tart Mystery 101...”Read full review »

“She makes art accessible while challenging the listener to not simply look, but truly see. Sit with the paintings long enough and they will speak to you. The context and information about the artists is so helpful. Tamar informs while she entertains. I am hugely enjoying her mixing of staid art...”Read full review »

“I’m writing this review after listening to one episode— Caravaggio’s Crucifixion of St. Andrew. As an artist who gets emotional easily over works of art, I was so impressed with this episode. I’m sure the rest will be as good if not better. Thank you for creating wonderful content about artwork...”Read full review »

“Tamar’s insight into art is so interesting and informative, I’ve felt moved by pieces I normally wouldn’t have thought twice about. Like Mark Rothko’s work, which I always dismissively called “the colored squares stuff,” but whose episode made me tear up, it was so beautifully done. Her voice is...”Read full review »
