May an Artist’s Moral Ill Repute Affect the Meaning of Their Work? An Argument for an Intrinsic Relationship

Original language description

In this paper, I address an overlooked issue in aesthetics: What is the impact of an artist’s moral ill repute on how we understand the meaning of their work? I argue that it can lead (i) to participatory resistance to an art work, as viewers abstain from a response to the work’s illocutionary force, (ii) to the isolation of the work from the ‘quality context’ that normally allows the work to be taken as true or false, (iii) to the reinterpretation of the work, and (iv) to the perception of the work as a lie. I focus on affairs in contemporary art.
