English term or phrase: There are as many different kinds of art...

Je voulais savoir si quelqu'un connaissait une version "officielle" de cette citation de Linda Nochlin :

There are as many different kinds of art as there are different women.

Merci.

there are as many different kinds of art... there are as many different kinds of art...

Explanation:
Linda Nochlin a écrit ces mots dans l'article (en lien) sur la Biennnale de Venise de 2005.
Elle est certainement connue mais de là à penser qu'il y aurait une traduction officielle, j'en doute.
Et si l'article a été traduit ou en partie repris et cité, il peut l'avoir été façon légèrement différente.
Ce qui vous laisse la liberté de la citer "entre guillemets" avec vos propres mots mais qui ne devraient pas fort varier d'une traduction à une autre.

Explanation:
Je conserve la répétition présente dans l'original, pour garder son insistance sur cette "différence" : diversité, variété, etc.

J'ai opté pour "sorte", pour coller à "kinds of art", qui n'est pas facile à traduire. Peut-être à affiner selon le contexte : genre, forme, style...

there are as many different kinds of art... On trouve autant de différentes formes d'art que de genres de femmes

Explanation:
Une traduction littérale ne me paraît pas rendre justice à ce que sous-entend l'artiste. Un style un tant soit peu plus élaboré permet de rendre l'intention et la forme.
