Is there a limit to that? I love the look of the Hugo Boss SS uniforms from WW2. Or is it because that artistry, those uniforms, were used to oppress and murder millions of people, that makes it distasteful?
Same with Hitler and his paintings.
I love Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects and think he is personally a deplorable pedophile and rapist. But by supporting his works, I’m supporting him as a person too, right?
I have debates with myself about this stuff all the time. I’m not sure where I stand, morally, on the whole idea of separating the art from the artist.

I don’t know how to answer it either. I have debates with myself about it as well.
