I can't agree with that anymore. Art is inherently human, it's inherently individual. The person or people who make it put a piece of themselves into it. It's not possible to separate the art from the artist, and their human ideas, actions, motivations, and class.
In this case, Orwell wrote from a very personal perspective, so his works are intrinsically linked to his deeds and ideology as a human.
