Reply To: Can a bad person create good art?

It is clearly true that bad people can make good art. Richard Wagner was the leading anti-Semite of his generation. D. W. Griffith made racist films and Leni Riefenstahl made propaganda films for Hitler. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was a membr of the Nazi Party. Bertolt Brecht defected to East Germany. Picasso was a member of the French Communist Party and Pete Seeger was (for a while) a member of the Communist Party USA. I am sure that others can come up with other examples.
