Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?

Feel free to answer if you’re in the opposite scenario: an artist who you love personally but don’t enjoy their artwork.

Feel free to respond more than just music artists!

Valmond,

I only found out they were shitty persons afterwards.

Asimov, from all accounts, was quite a creep but dammit if his writing isn’t good.

Tom Otterness, the sculptor. He might not be a shitty person anymore, though (it's really up to you).

CADmonkey,

I enjoy a lot of books written by Larry Niven. But in real life he seems to be a bit of a pro-government totalitarian.
