The Lonely Palette episodes

  • Re-ReleaseEp 30 - Donatello's "Madonna of the Clouds" (c. 1425-1435)

    The Lonely Palette is on maternity leave until early March, which means that for the next few weeks, we'll be turning to the archives to feature episodes specific to the many shades of motherhood. This episode, from May 2018, looks at the Virgin Mary and her baby Jesus, and explores how their gentle, intimate relationship - as she gathers her diaphanous skirts to sit with her little nugget on the probably Cheerio-strewn floor of heaven - helps us understand the Renaissance.

  • Re-ReleaseEp. 48 - Anselm Kiefer's "Margarete" and "Sulamith" (1981)

    A year ago today, we released our most ambitious episode yet: an exploration of postwar German artist Anselm Kiefer's layered, dense, enormous canvases that themselves respond to the enormity of Holocaust survivor Paul Celan's layered, dense poem, "Todesfugue."

    In honor of this episode taking the gold in podcasting at the American Alliance of Museums' MuseWeb awards, we're re-releasing the episode, and with it the layers of metaphor and materials, texture and text, golden straw and blackened ash, that comprise the unimaginable.

    This episode was produced with support from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Learn more at www.sfmoma.com.
