Anna Funder on the ethical and aesthetic problem of monstrous artists

from The Minefield · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

How should we wrestle with the problem of loving the art, but being unsettled by the behaviour or the beliefs of the artist who created it? It would be a mistake to see it as just an ethical problem. It is also an aesthetic problem. Because knowing what we know causes us to see the work differently.
