If I liked the artist before I found out who they really are, I can still like their art. If I found out the artist was a piece of shit before I discovered there art, I can never look at their art in a good light.
If I had seen this painting not didn't know who the artist was, I would say it's very nice and well done... But knowing it's Hitler, I can't appreciate it.
Using anything Holocaust related as an example is a little far reaching, but rape is torture.
That is actually quite well rendered. I never thought to look at Hitler's art before.
This was also by Hitler, and I actually really like it. Does that make me genocidal? The world is filled with people who do terrible things, and some of these same people also do good things. Hitler's art doesn't redeem his atrocious acts, certainly, but I can certainly appreciate his few good ones.
How could I forget about Manhattan, where Allen sleeps with an underage Muriel Hemingway (and based on his real-life 17 year-old girlfriend at the time!) How did anyone in 1979 not see this? Pretty good film though.
