Yes. We need to be creating art now more than ever. I don’t know about you, but it feels wrong to me. And I think that I know where it comes from. One line almost perfectly expresses the sentiment of the feeling of the wrongness of creating art as the world goes mad: Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
