It is complicated.
It is highly important to listen to other life stories and opinions. It is important to talk to each other and to acknowledge that being of different opinions does not necessarily mean the end of the ability to have meaningful times and exchanges together.
To me art is another form of creating an exchange, a n intellectual / emotionlal relationship with the piece, which is a personal expression of the artist.
Art ideally reaches me in my most deep and inner self. Touches upon my dreams, fears, insecurities, hopes and more. Can make me deeply connect with myself and question myself. Art, like meeting actual people, has got the ability to show me where I am wrong, I'm right, where I belong.
Just like people, artworks can disappoint, if I learn that my relationship with them was based upon misunderstandings.
Just like with people I am careful whom I let let this close into my / this very personal space.
Which is why I do not want negativity at that space. I want trust. Respect.
And here comes the question: how can I let someone touch ne deeply if whom I know that they do not respect who I am, even in such a virtual relationahip as the one with an artwork, which is always the expression of an artist and therefore for me I am unable to separate an artwork from the artist. An artwork can take a life of it's own, but it still is connected.

If there is an artwork that once was a safe haven for me and I later find out that the creating artist actually despises the very aspect of me which caused me to seek refuge inside that artwork ... and it has helped me to come to the values I am living by ... then it becomes utterly complicated.

The way how we deal with such experiences is highly individual. Just like our relationship to art is highly individual.
Let alone the question of: does an artwork stand for itself and nothing else, or is it impossible to separate it from it's artist, the culture, it's time? We will never have one answer to this question. Everyone of us will need to findbtheir own.
