> The topic on my mind around this was: in the large, like MJ or Woody Allen, it's hard to make a call on the art vs. artist Why do people think this is a dichotomy, or a call to be made in the first place? Instead of artist being an inseparable part of the art itself? Chuck Tingle put it pretty well: > strange when buds talk on 'separate the art from the artist'. a painting is not just a square that ends at canvas edge. it is history and intention. if you build wall between them you are numbing yourself and only experiencing half the art. the artist IS THE ART, at least to me > separating artist from art is like walking out of a play during intermission youre missing half the show bud, for better or worse. gotta accept theres a whole second half and grapple with that because its all one big performance
