Sometimes there are people who are evil. Putting them into art just isn’t right no matter how you look at it. Hitler was evil. So was Stalin and Mao. I just don’t think it was appropriate. The blood on their hands is the blood of tens of millions each.
I just don’t think it warrants being immortalized as art.

First off, he never used the word “censor.” That’s simply his opinion as to what he considers art or acceptable art subjects.

That’s the whole purpose of art, to elicit response, positive, negative, enlightening or lame.

Or do you think art and artist are beyond criticism?
