What do we do about the unknown evils committed by artists whose artwork we admire? The implications of supporting an artist who ‘may’ have committed abhorrent acts is so great that maybe we must withhold all our judgements of all artwork so that we are never inadvertently supporting evils that we are unsure have occurred by the artists. We can never be too sure of how much of our appreciation of art is being showered upon the the right artists of high moral caliber, because they may be crypto-deplorable people in which we should withhold our praise indefinitely. Is this going too far or should we separate the artist from the artwork instead?
