What makes a real Master in art is the unique way he/she is able to express himself and creates work that could be visionary or shows society the way society is.
To recognize a work of art value, few things are required from the viewer himself. First of all that he has some knowledge of art history and techniques and materials used to create art. Secondly, he has a flexible mind so he is not blinded by conservatism, especially when it goes about Contemporary and Conceptual art. For a person with these kind of abilities it is very easy to recognize a real Masterpiece or Master. The work itself speaks to you. Try it. If you stand in front of a painting or a sculptor or installation etc. and it hits you like a tornado that you stand perplexed with your mouth open, be sure you met a Master. You can try this out with the old Masters and see what happens. See a Rembrant, a Picasso, Rubens, Duchamp, Margritt, Miro, Appel, Pollock etc, you will see what happens if you let the work speak to you. (By the way this is also a nice trick to figure out if you are able to absorb the emotion a piece of art can implicate) So, in principle, it is very simple.
Of course, to find a new Master will not be so easy, they do not grow on trees. The real Masters are not only Masters but Geniuses too, (which means different that others) because they are born with some eccentricities and other abilities which common people do not possess, what also makes it that it looks they do not fit in society and consequently are not immediately recognized by society.
