Abstract

Throughout art history, there are many negative anecdotes. Many artists are flawed when it comes to morality issues, even though they have made extraordinarily outstanding art pieces. Their defects include not only sexually transmitted diseases and chaotic relationships, but also encompass violation of law and usage of drugs. However, there are not a lot of research articles on art and ethics. Through the analysis of different artists’ backgrounds and works, this article discusses whether there is a natural conflict between artistic success and morality, and expounds the importance of artistic ethics and the reasons for its neglect from both theoretical and empirical aspects. At the end of the article, the author makes a summary analysis and gives specific suggestions in order to improve the awareness of art and ethics.
