The debate about whether it is possible to separate the art from the artist is widely discussed, and seemingly anytime there is a new scandal involving a famous actor, popular singer, artist or even a professional athlete, the individual is canceled. To answer the question, yes, I do believe that we can separate the art from the artist. We must attempt to separate the art from the artist, because good art is good art because of its quality, not the quality of the artist. Just as good art does not magically make the artist a good human being, a good person does not magically make art that is good. The art should be separate from the artist.
