>Or even some one who does not stand contrary to others. 

you're parsing it wrong, though the meaning doesn't change much. It's referring to those who do not stand against others in the face of opposition. あえて is kind of weird in that it's used in many situations where in English we wouldn't say anything.

>Having no particular distinction with regard to art or the like

maybe I'm just misunderstanding your English, but it's talking about not having particular style or habits in art (i.e., always curving ones strokes in a particular [likely incorrect] manner, etc)
