"Visual art currently constitutes a significant battleground because aesthetic issues are particularly close to the surface of individual judgments and, above all, because the majority of its critics are bound by the common-sense view that good art is universally recognizable and cultural background is not a factor either in its production or its appreciation."Art becomes the common ground for cultures to meet. Through art, the individual in society can connect the subjective to the objective. Racial differences can be appreciated from a universal perspective. There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose for the artist and his or her audience. The new perspective is one of viewer and object rather than person to person.
