Ostrow suggested that criticism is important because it helps to address the "contradictions and dichotomies inherent in our social and cultural lives". In the interview Ostrow shared his experience as Art Editor for Bomb Magazine and his insight into the "changing landscape" of art criticism due to the advent of the Internet and art blogs. When asked about sexism, ageism, and racism within the contemporary art world Ostrow suggested that all three exist because all three exist in larger society.〔("FineArtViews Interview: Saul Ostrow -- Art Critic and Art Editor for ''BOMB Magazine'' by Brian Sherwin" ), () Retrieved 20 May 2011.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saul Ostrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
