One enables and invites engagement with art by dislikable individuals, the other disables and discourages it.
Maybe this all sounds obvious, but it feels like the discourse often ignores this difference and people end up talking past one another

'You can't separate art from artist' could then either mean 1) we need to take the artist's beliefs and behaviour into account for the fullest appreciation of an artwork, or 2) we must renounce all artworks created by artists that don't meet our ethical standards

Arguably if I approach a work in any way that I would not the creator — e.g. enjoying a book by a person I feel has repulsive views and would happily see expelled from my community — then I have on some level functionally separated art from artist

If you want to understand all the causal influences on an artwork then clearly art and artist are intimately related. But you could also take inseparability to mean our *response* to art and artist should be inseparable. So if rejecting the person then I should reject their art
