Do you separate the art from the artists? If no, are you strict about it or do you cherry-pick? (lemmy.world)

It depends… I wouldn’t say I cherry-pick, but if the art has a message that parallels the issues I have with the artist, it’s hard not to “separate” them. Like Kanye’s latest album… I can listen to College Dropout and Life of Pablo no problem, they don’t have any Nazi messaging. But his latest album is filled with very weird lyrics that just make me uncomfortable.

Another example would be someone like Dali, who was an avowed fascist. But his paintings don’t really have anything to do with that. And I quite enjoy them still.

Fuck, Dali was a fascist? I've been to multiple exposition that talk about his personal life but they never mention it

I mean he was just weird in general, but yeah: https://medium.com/the-collector/salvador-dalis-obsession-with-nazism-and-fascism-4769af704b96
