Cassavetes’ artwas quarried from his life & from his attempts to make art in it

Homework / test English to Spanish Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama cine
Cassavetes’ art, in short, was quarried from his life and from his attempts to make art in it. This is a conception of art not as being a transcendental activity that transports the artist, his or her materials, and the viewer to an otherworldly realm of imaginative order, beauty, and vision, but as a form of engagement with the messiness and confusion of the world as it actually exists outside of his imagination

el arte de Cassavetes se cinceló a partir del bloque de su vida (sus vivencias) y a partir de sus

intentos (de su conato) por crear arte en ese mismo bloque...

Otra opción más libre "a la Michelangelo..." ;-)

Saludos cordiales.

agree Chema Nieto Castañón : Me encantan cincelar, conato y crear -aunque dulcifique tal vez en exceso la metáfora original; C cincela su arte a partir de su propia vida y de sus conatos por crear arte en ella.

English term (edited): cassavetes’ art was quarried from his life & from his attempts to make art in it

Extraído

El sentido de quarried es el de extraer (extraer como se extrae carbón; con voluntad y esfuerzo). Más o menos literalmente, El arte de Cassavetes, en fin, es extraído de su propia vida y de sus intentos de hacer arte en ella.


Peer comment(s):

agree JohnMcDove : Sí, la metáfora también es válida en español https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/english-spanish/... "Como se arranca el hierro de una herida, su amor de las entrañas me arranqué..." que diría G. A. Bécquer... ;-)
