Is it historically established that artists are generally progressive in their politics?

    Or is this only true in recent memory?

    “Progressive” wasn’t even a thing til like the 1960’s

    It's just a trend.

    Was Michelangelo "progressive" when he painted the Sistine Chapel. I don't think so.

    Nor was he when he lovingly formed the cock & balls of David

    Artists are eccentric, there's no denying that.

    But now that i think about it, if you're a sculptor or painter and you sculpt or paint people it's kind of important to know how anatomy works. At least the outside bits.

    I just wonder where he got the bodies to make such detailed sketches.

    Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel also contains an anatomically correct depiction of a human brain as well.

    I suspect causation runs in reverse here - fuckwits are more likely to be artists (and suck at it).

    Lots of old artists liked drawing cocks for some reason

    In ye olde times, the times of Rome, the male form was considered to be most beautiful. So much so that women resolved to bind their breasts because of it. It was a cultural thing and a pretty gay one at that which probably blew over from greece, however in ye olde times around the Renaissance, old roman/greek culture was pretty much appropriated by the people of the times. Now that i think of it, it's actually quite obvious if you look at art from the time period.

    In fairness it was before anime was invented.

    There was nudity in it. Centuries later conservatives will feign outrage at an accidental nipple at the super bowl

    Artists are progressive by nature because they're idealists and creative. All Conservatives have is Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.

    Some of the best poets (certainly some of the most influential) of the pre renaissance period were Muslim (Hafiz and Rumi being the best known). Muslims aren't known for their boundless unbridled creativity but that's also not what we're talking about at all rn
