Summary/Abstract: The source of the stimulating elements and dynamics of art is local. Ethnic, geographical, and cultural formation and conformism are characterized with local attributions of art. However, this does not mean that art is or should be “national.” In this respect, the term “national culture” can be used while the term “national art” cannot. The reason for this lies in “the universality of art.” “From local to universal” is accepted as an absolute direction for art,but “from local to global” is out of the question. On the contrary, globality aims to ensure dominance of the objectivity of economy, technology,politics,and artificial cultural hegemony over local elements. Cultural productions' diffusion speed and power that further sharpen the difference between globality and universality dynamize the global economic appeal which supports their intent to alienate from the universal attributes of the art. It can be said that this paved the way for the 21st century to become the century of cultural wars and militarized art.
