This is objectively wrong. The Girl Wearing a Pearl Earring is not a statement about fascism. The Spotify logo is not a depiction of child labor.

Now, this artist may feel that way about their own work (and that's neat!), but it is a huge overreach to apply it to all others. Every artist is different.

I am so tired of these conversations about art as if it's a mystical monolith. No, you don't get to make blanket statements about literally all art.
