Separating The Art From The Artist?

Can you separate the artwork from the artist? “I have assumed as axiomatic that a creation, a work of art, is autonomous,” T.S. Eliot. Eliot himself now an artist who challenges critics in hindsight about his own work. Eliot scholars debate the possible prejudice and anti-semitism in his work. Does it mean the poet, rather than the poem's narrator, is prejudiced? Is a comedy routine with sexist or inflammatory viewpoints reflecting the performers own ethics or is it part of reflecting the culture to create such humour? Eugene and Candy talk bout whether or not they can, or should, separate art from it's creator. And what are the perimeters of objectionalble actions that would stop them from listening or viewing. The incredible Art Rosenbaum is not an artist leaving doubt of his great worth. This episode is in honour of Art Rosenbaum and his body of work that has inspired Eugene. The opening music is Art Rosenbaum performing "Shout Lulu" at the Tiki Parlour.
