I don't quite understand what you are saying. Are you saying that the privation of love does not exist? If it does exist, cannot art represent this privation by definition. Therefore, art would not have an ethical responsibility by virtue of what it is. If it did have a responsibility, it would be a responsibility that is imposed on it by something else.
