RE: Can You Separate the Art from the Artist?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I believe that I can separate the art from the artist. And though I'm aware of the flaws that you describe, I can listen to Wagner. And enjoy Picasso. Because the artist isn't present in my mind. But in the case of Cosby, it's impossible to see the show without seeing the man.
I'm faced with the same problem in the UK. With Saville, Harris, etc. Also, the author Jeffrey Archer. Who I enjoyed reading until his true character was exposed. Personally, I can't enjoy his books now. Because his personality is ever present.
I can imagine that with the advances in AI, it will be possible to rework TV shows with a replacement character. But I'll have to think about that before I can decide its merits.
Thanks for a thought provoking post.

Now that's an interesting idea!
