SEPARATE ART FROM THE ARTIST

Richard Wagner was a self-proclaimed anti-Semite and composed some of the most beautiful music ever heard.

Roman Polanski raped a 13-year-old girl and directed one or two of the best movies in the last century.

Charles Dickens was a terrible husband who was appallingly cruel to his wife, yet wrote some of the best novels in the English language.

Carravaggio was a murderer and a fugitive but his painting can stir our souls.

It has been like this since time and art began; human monsters who can create beautiful things.

Which stirs the ageless debate----can we separate the artist from the art---and in fact should we? "
