Can you separate art from the artist ?

That is to say, can you appreciate art for its own sake, even if its artist is revealed to be despicable personally, for example, someone who was an excellent musician, actor ot producer but committed sexual assault, cheated on partners, was openly anti-Semitic or racist ?

If some ills are more acceptable to you than others, where do you draw the line ?

It seems that so many of the most talented artists, actors, athletes, painters, vocalists were outright terrible human beings. when i go see a movie, or a football game, or a band. most of the entertainers/players are probably stand up folks, but, theres always going to be a couple who like to get drunk and beat their girlfriends. hard to take the time to research everybody who is going to benefit from my monetary contribution.
