I would submit to you that perhaps 90% of classical art can't be truly appreciated without knowing the mythology behind it, religious texts, historical events, etc.

So yes, SOME art will transcend the cultural barriers... images of Mother, depictions of female and male beauty, landscapes... but even there one must be very aware of the period and school, otherwise the "crude" 20th century images will make no sense next to the classical paintings or sculptures.
