Problematic Artists conversation - Commercial Artists of the 19th Century

I'm navigating artists on my list that have forced me to face my own personal feelings and concerns with covering artists whom I find to be problematic. Gustav Klimt-inspired artwork today while discussing this. Your mileage may vary, given the particular artist and the specific portion of their experience that's questionable.Thank you for being here, and for actively listening and for taking part in this conversation. ----------------------------------------------------- Statement: I am learning, live and in public, how to navigate some of the content I am sharing here. I am learning as I go what type of content I want to share and what I don’t and as I choose people’s lives to cover in my art streams. They may have created art that I don’t feel comfortable with having on my channel, and/or there may be things I discover about their lives and or things they did in their lives that I’m not comfortable about covering and/or platforming and even maybe even being associated with at all on my channel. I started daily live streaming in late July 2025. I started covering biographies of creative people on October 1 with Inktober 2025 (Gothic Women Authors of the 18th and 19th Century). I’m literally figuring things out as I go, but in public. So please bear with me when I hit some little bumps like this. It’s funny, because when stuff like this happens, I’m never happier that I have a teeny tiny viewer base. So, if you are here, thank you for being here and for learning along with me, and for making room to have this conversation (and this therapy moment) with me!
