Separate the art from the character or personification of the artist

Thanks to Pro for the interesting topic. I'll assume round 1 is for acceptance. Two clarifications on the topic that I hope Pro can clear up in their Round 2 speech: 1) Is Pro arguing for the principle that a person's artwork should be separate from their character, Or for the practical implementation of such a principle in society? 2) Are we arguing for artwork as in visual arts only, Or in mass mediums such as television, Literature, Drama, Etc. ? I'd assume the latter based on the examples Pro gives in their Round 1, But if this could be cleared up it would be nice. I look forward to an exciting debate.
