"One view of the father, one glance at his face, and you have a masterpiece. You do not need more, you got it all."You think this is a universal truth rather than a personal truth? I doubt it is. Of course there are no doubt hard core Kabuki lovers that would say the same thing about the guy in bad drag striking a ridiculous pose.

Universal? Maybe. We have an universal language out there. Made of course of different sensibilities.
Mostly a common language above nationalities. Above native cultures.
Donīt you think?
Or let it put me this way: a personal truth may also be a universal one too.
Yes no doubt.

I think there are universal truths but not universal conventions. I have no doubt that great art largly deals with those universal truths at the core of it's themes. It is the conventions that are learned and are culturally diverse and often non=interchangable. I have no doubt that the Kabuki lover often cannot understand how the western world cannot see exactly what he sees. With time we are often numbed to that which we have learned and aquired with time and experience. As I listen to Coltrane I have a hard time remebering when I didn't get him.
"Or let it put me this way: a personal truth may also be a universal one too.
