>The work is so refreshingly honest.
The best works of art inspires our love for the truth. With every bit of honesty that we recognise in art there is some disdain for the lack of authenticity in the regular world.
But does art, as the most polished source of novelty, sanction itself in society as the only space where honesty is allowed to publicly exist?

if the artist is honest, so is the art.
if society is dishonest, it only makes that art more resplendent.

So you have to be an artist if you want to be as honest as allowable.
Art pulls the most honest people towards itself like a brain drain, there would be no need for lots of works if everyone was honest.

Evaluating art in terms of virtues is and always has been a mistake.
