I would say it’s not possible. The art IS the artist. The art only is what it is because the artist is who they are. But a lot of people seem to be very comfortable with the idea of separating the art from the artist. What say Lemmy?

Depends what the artist did and when they did it as well as the conection to the art.
The internet really likes to forget that people and their believes change over time. You don’t have the same believes you had at 14 when you are 30 or 40.
So you could be a biggot and racist as a teen because you grew up in a home in which this was normal. Mybe you later get to know people you had prejudiced against before and are now in your 30’s/40s an ally.
You could also be chill growing up and than for some reasons, fall pray to the right wing propaganda machine and become an anti-woke poopy-head.
So in my opinion, the time when the art was created plays a huge impact on how I see it and if I can separate it from the artist.
