Sick Of It All - Leader

To the question of how much art reflects the personality of the creator, one very telling example can be cited: if you look at Hitler’s watercolors and don’t know who was their author, it can be assumed that they were written by a naive, romantically tuned, and most importantly, a person completely far from politics. Lonely mountain houses, Munich streets, streams and a lake - all in blurry pastel colors. Idyll and more! It can rightly be argued that Hitler was not a genius like Wagner. But we are not talking about the scale of talent, but about how the personality of the artist is reflected in his art and whether it is possible to separate them. So you can! You can also enjoy Wagner's music without knowing anything about his anti-Semitism, and such thoughts will never arise in the listener. And that meansthe perception of Wagner's music through the prism of xenophobia is purely superficial and subjective.
