No, the criteria are not different for various types of art. With beauty, there is what one might call an ambiguous element, since it can be conducive to a worldly self inflatedness or on the contrary to a remembrance of the Divine. Traditional art is esoteric, not exoteric. In principle, esoterism has certain rights which transcend the prohibitions of exoterism, but in fact, esoterism can rarely make use of these rights. Nonetheless, it has occurred, for example, in the case of dervish dances or of apparently shameless Tibetan paintings.
Some traditional productions are bad, and some nontraditional productions are good.
Therefore the practice of every art is a way of self-realization, in principle or also in fact. With unimportant or even negative subjects, the artist may remain intentionally unaffected, but with noble and profound subjects, he works with his very heart. Your book The Feathered Sun reveals your interest in the American Indians. The Feathered Sun and especially Images of Primordial and Mystic Beauty deal with the mystery of sacred nudity. St. Nonnos, when he beheld St. Pelagia entering the baptismal pool naked, praised God for having put into human beauty not only an occasion of fall, but also an occasion of rising towards God.
