SWF: All Your Faves Are Problematic, Can We Cancel Art?

Martha Gellhorn once reflected – perhaps musing on five years of marriage to Hemingway – that “a man must be a very great genius to make up for being such a loathsome human being”. But do her words still cut it in 2019? Alice Walker recently praised the work of an anti-Semite, but she also wrote The Color Purple. Does one invalidate the other? Ronnie Scott, On Artists author Ashleigh Wilson, ABC’s Osman Faruqi and Culture Editor of Elle.comEstelle Tang ask what we can forgive in the name of art.
