Universal structure?

I began to think, when we judge, enjoy, critique, and influence art do we have a set a values we always use.

As human beings, as social beings, do we have a universal structure of thought when it comes to judging art?

I am not talking about opinion, preference or critique, cultural differences or nurture.

I am talking about inborn sense, drive or instinct, similar to the one that makes us express ourselves in art.

Is it possible, that we all share something, something like an invisible structure that helps us to make sense of the work of art in front of us. To understand the concept, to understand the meaning and feeling of the painting, the artist implanted.

I can think of one such similarity, the need to interpret.
