That makes sense. It would explain why people that create quality art, whether visual arts, theater or music, tend to be left leaning politically. Art created by conservatives tends to be crappy and low-brow IMO.

See? There's the sneering contempt I was talking about. Thanks for the backup!

I wasn't trying to be hostile. I am politically conservative but have noticed that there is less quality art coming from right wing artists.

Any artist smart enough wouldn't declare their political affiliations if they were right wing, not these days. I wouldn't know if I've ever seen recent artby anyone right leaning, come to think of it.

It's because of personality traits that predispose some people to some talents and some to others.

Can you even name a right wing artist? Such a person would be unemployable and likely attacked on sight at any gathering of artists.
