hmmmm oft times, deep study of an artist reveals much you don't have to agree with an artist to enjoy or appreciate his works well, I don't or do rarely do I agree with everything an individual represents and I like Sir Gielgud's body of work

Re Anti-Semitic, Anti-Whatever Artists May I suggest that just as the fellow who leads a famed concert series in Austria has just given notice in protest of their new right wing party.......we have the option to undertake our own art form of protesting/informing others re the nasty side of those who foment hatred. Many great artists have on the one hand such beauty to offer, and such ugliness at the same time. Yes, to some degree it's true of us all. If spreading the information, re Lindbergh, Dostoevsky, Henry Ford, Wagner, re their anti-Semitism......taints their artistry or "greatness"....so be it. Perhaps it may influence future "great" people to stifle their bigotry in hopes of keeping their reputations better.Or make us all reflect upon our mixed natures. No one deserves to be given a "pass" because their art or other contributions are so great (How many U.S. citizens know how much philosophical and material support Ford gave the Nazis? He should be known as a war criminal so far as I'm concerned). While I can't enjoy listening to Wagner, etc, I don't begrudge those who do.....but I am in favor of accurate history.
