The artist separates from it once it is created.

Or is that not what you mean?

The artist is inside the created art; he cannot separate himself from it.

Both is true. It's different ways of looking at things, different tools used to describe a phenomenon.

So, no more enjoying Michael Jackson songs, Rick and Morty, or Ren and Stimpy?

I have no idea what you mean by that.

Oops, that was meant to be a reply to isolabell.art.

Ah ok. I think the difference in viewpoints probably lies in how each of us define the word "separate" within the context.

this is more or less the question.

sometimes the artist leaves bits of himself behind in the work, like a horcrux, forever a part of it.

Oh, definitely. Even if they didn't intend to, there's part of them in there. I would still argue that is separation but that's just semantics.

It's all entangled anyhow.
