Dear Princess Celestia,
This is something that I've talked about in one of my classes this semester, but I wanted to hear more thoughts on it: is it truly possible to separate the art from the artist? Can we look at a work of art and judge it without thinking about the artist, even if the artist is notorious for being horrible? Here's the example we used in class:
Roman Polanski: Directed Macbeth (1971) and Chinatown (1974), but drugged and sexually molested a small girl
Is it possible to still look at his films and admire their quality without taking into account his horrible actions or having them influence our judgement of the movies? Should the artist be kept separate from the art? If yes, why? How can we do this?

The artist is not seperate from their work. They are linked in there work in many ways. The art work could be him/her drawing what is on his/her mind maybe, or draw out his/her feelings. In art, you always draw your thoughts and feelings.
