[quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of surprised by this thread. As a few others have pointed out, an artistic temperament is rarely accompanied by a conventionally nice personality...and I'll go out on a limb and say that the nicest people generally do not produce the best art. I've known (and in some cases, dated) many artists and musicians; to a one, the greater artists are disorganized, selfish, self-centered, messy, and barely tolerable if you don't give them some leeway. The nice guys were usually the backup players. Even if you don't agree, I don't understand not separating art and personality. Does every object you love--clothing, home, furnishings--have to be created by nice people in order for you to appreciate them? If the art itself speaks to you, appreciate it for what it is. [/quote]
