I'd argue that the greatest works by the greatest artists transcend

regionalist or nationalist "insider" material which render significant (20%) of the work unintelligible to "foreigners."
A good artist supplies context. I don't have to know much at all about Jewish culture to get the jokes of, "The Owl and the Pussycat" which is rife with ethnic humor.
There is very little new under the sun, Vic. For instance, when I supplied Russian ships, I often drank to stupidity with the Captain and other officers (it seemed a necessity for good business) and their stories, though poorly translated, always made sense. In fact, Russian anti-government humor and that of Brazil surprisingly were the same.
