On Artists

If we denounce the artist, then what becomes of the work that remains?

The #MeToo movement is overturning a cliché that has forgiven bad behaviour for years: to be creative is to be prone to eccentricity, madness, addiction, and excess. No longer can artists be excused from the standards of conduct that apply to us all.

On Artists delves into this complex interplay between art, ethics, and expectation, examining the repercussions of separating—or failing to separate—the art from the artist. Such an exploration is vital in a world increasingly sensitive to the implications of our actions and the legacy of those who create.
