Am I the only person who feels that to mix politics and art is inartistic?
I don't mean, that an excellent drawing is bad, because it's political, but rather, to motivate your art because of political iniquity, to sell, is not artistic or ethical. If a nation commits genocide, then it's not artistic to sell a painting to empathize with the victims; it's artificial. If your brother got killed by a drunk police officer, unjustly, in my opinion it would be OK to paint a picture for him. But to turn and sell it, isn't that artificial? Art is subjective, so there is no basis for this topic in "truth", but rather opinion, so leave your thoughts, thanks:

at closed minded pathetic person attempting to be intelligent I'd refrain from flaming, but you're not an artistic person anyway, so whatever Rot in hell, you conceited piece of trash

Why is it unethical, what if the artist actually had strong feelings about the subject matter?

The reason I attacked is because this person has flamed me, and targeted me roughly 5 times in the past 4 minutes on 2 different threads.

If you think so lowly of them for flaming, why would you respond in kind? Just ignore people who post stuff that upsets you. Here they usually only do it for the reaction, so if you don't give them the reaction they stop.

I know it's sad I never gave a damn about the weather and it never gave a damn about me.
