Art and morality

Can you guess which leader of a major world power in the 20th century considered himself an artist first, politician second. Who had a vast knowledge of art, music and architecture - who surrounded himself with novelists, musicians and playwrights. Who spent vast quantities of public money on cultural endeavors - galleries, opera houses, etc. Who had perhaps the greatest art collection in history? Adolf Hitler.
Fascinating material from a book by Frederic Spotts - Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics.
There is no connection between appreciation of the arts and morality.
Is there a connection between creating art and morality?
I've read a number of biographies of musicians whose music I admire - and have been almost universally disappointed in their ethics. Bob Dylan was one person though who I actually liked more after reading his bio.

Guess which world reknowned painter ground lit cigarette butts into women's faces. Pablo Picasso.
Art may be a way of knowing and growing but there is no guarantee its patrons or creators possess humane ethics.
