Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

NGL If I were rich Id probably buy one of his paintings just to hang it in the least used guest barhroom.

Id never mention that it was a "Hitler" or why I had it. Id just like to have his failure be something my least favorite relatives have to stare at while they take a shit. My own personal fuck you to the cunt.

I don't like it. It's smug aura mocks me. It's evil, Charlie!

That's really inviting layers of ugliness into your life and your mind, and subjecting your guests to stealth ugliness.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope, its hilarious.

Reducing anything that anyone who venerates Hitler or Nazis to a joke is better than destroying it. Because its just a shitty painting, its not evil, it doesnt hold psychic power, its not a banner to rally behind. Its just a terrible mans terrible painting that is now something that hangs above Uncle Joe while he clogs the toilet with his mammoth fast food dumps.

It's poison, and you'd be subjecting yourself and your guests to poison.

It's not funny, and Burt K is a drooling moron. He's pretty much brain dead.

Hitler actually made some pretty good art.

But even way back then, the art world was a crock of shit.

His art was okay, but it's only famous because of some of the other stuff he did.
