 Another important type of integrity is artistic integrity. Bernard Williams (1981) discusses a fictionalized version of Gauguin’s story, a discussion that raises questions about the relationship between artistic integrity and other kinds of integrity. On Williams’s (1981, 22) account, Gauguin ‘turns away from definite and pressing human claims on him in order to live a life in which, as he supposes, he can pursue his art.’ In other words, the fictional Gauguin left his loved ones to paint in Tahiti. Williams’s point is that how Gauguin judges himself and how his actions are judged partly depends on the success of his artistic project. In Williams’s view, if Gauguin’s artistic project fails, we are apt to judge him morally deficient; if his artistic project succeeds, we are likely to see his actions in a more favorable moral light. Although Williams’s discussion of this case is focused on the concept of moral luck, there are two important issues concerning artistic integrity here. First, there is the issue of whether Gauguin acted with a kind of integrity at all, and second, there is the issue of whether artistic integrity, if this is what Gauguin’s actions manifest, conflicts with moral and personal integrity.
