On Artists

The #MeToo movement is overturning a cliche that has forgiven bad behaviour for years: to be creative is to be prone to eccentricity, madness, addiction and excess. No longer can artists be excused from the standards of conduct that apply to us all. But if we denounce the artist, then what becomes of the work that remains?

Miscarea #MeToo rastoarna un cliseu care a iertat comportamentul rau de ani de zile: a fi creativ inseamna a fi predispus la excentricitate, nebunie, dependenta si exces. Artistii nu mai pot fi scutiti de standardele de conduita care se aplica tuturor.
