the article Well answer d states that good art and

02:07

good character are connected The author's second stated objective is

02:11

the desire to find the conditions of character in the

02:13

artist which are essentially connected with the goodness of his

02:16

work What the author is basically saying is that he

02:19

believes good character found within the artist is directly related

02:22

to the goodness of the artist's works or set another

02:25

way The author believes good art and good character are
