Brian Wilson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute sees Kamath as "the rare blend of gifted intellect and industry encased within a modest and wonderfully pleasant young...
Such invocations of Juno in the drawing room weren't empty tropes for him. The seated version of Madame Moitessier, finished in 1856 after years of frustrating labor and scores of preliminary studies, is Ingres's Mona Lisa. It's a wonderful blend of intelligibility and mysteriousness. On one hand it is an intensely material painting: the care Ingres took with every last detail of her costume and massive jewelry--the cascading rose-embroidered fabric, the tassels on the bodice--almost defies belief.

...relic to weave ethereally futuristic tales of lost love and heartache on the reissues of two of his hard-to-find albums. The Magnetic Fields' music is not an easy, accessible listen, and these reissues do nothing to dispel that fact. Holiday runs together in a monotonous blend of manufactured noises and mumbled words. Tomorrow fares a little bit better, but only because it contains five songs...
