When you watch/experience a work of art, is your perception of that art affected by the person of the artist?

No. The art exists independently of the artist.

Yes, but only if the aspect of the artist (e.g. his views or past behaviours) you disagree with feature in his art.
8 (25%)
Yes, it colors my perception somewhat, but I try to watch the work of art anyway.
5 (15.6%)
Yes, and I actively boycott the work of art of the artist with whom I disagree.

well luckily for you Marti living artists usually get very little of the money generated by their art. You'd be better off boycotting Sony or EMI.

Logic?

well he's been talking about Artists. Unless you sell millions upon millions of records or books, or become The next Keith Haring you will see very little money in the mainstream world of any art form. The big conglomerates like Sony etc will make a hundred fold what you do off your work, and they control the ditriution and copyright, not you the creator.

If you sell out, you sell out. They own your ass.
:p

They will pry my ass from my cold dead hands.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yes. Yes they will. And they will enjoy as much as your live ass. (moreso, because you've stopped pretending to struggle)
