An audio series on art history hosted by Tamar Avishai, a lecturer at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Each episode focuses on one artwork, such as painting, sculpture, or installation. It also explores the social context and significance of the work. The source presents information using straightforward language and a more casual tone than academic texts. Even though the podcast is sporadically updated, it remains a useful resource for those interested in learning about art history in an approachable manner.
This annual public lecture series has been hosted by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., since 1952. Lecturers include art historians, artists, archaeologists, poets, and musicologists, demonstrating the credibility of the speeches. Numerous presentations can be viewed in video format or as an audio recording on the museum’s official podcast. Not all the lectures, especially those before 2002, are freely available to watch or listen to, but most are accessible, making this a valuable resource for students to gain insight into various genres within fine arts.
