I appreciate that you wrote this article. I came to Substack specifically because I felt that there were fewer and fewer places where I could write the kind of criticism I feel is most important, that of advocacy and ambassadorship. I wrote specifically about contemporary art and sometimes on literature.
Most people don’t know who the critics are. I grew up with parents who were in the art business myself, so reviews were always important. We knew many of the important art writers personally

Glad you liked it! Indeed, it is all too easy for both artists and art lovers to dismiss the critics. But it doesn't have to be that way.
