English term or phrase: uncluttered
He was uncluttered by the passing aesthetics of the day.

Es ist ein Text über den Maler Edward Hopper. Hier der ganze Absatz:

This is Edward Hopper's lesson to the painters of our time and to anyone else interested enough to learn from him. He had the courage to sit down and open himself to reality, to respond freely to it without the protective, stultifying psychic armor of theories and preconceived formulas of seeing. He was uncluttered by the passing aesthetics of the day.

Ich finde immer nur "aufgeräumt" als Übersetzung, aber das passt hier ja beim besten Willen nicht.
Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!

  -> Danke schön, Susanne; an *unbeeinflusst* hatte ich auch gedacht, dann müsste man den Satz aber noch mehr umformulieren in Richtung ließ sich nicht beeinflussen; deshalb finde ich unberührt noch schöner :-)

Finde ich deswegen eine gute Lösung, weil man sich mit anderen Formulierungen leicht wertende Konnotationen (etwa "unbedarft") einhandelt.

Another possibility.
There's another option tugging at the corners of my memory, but I just can't put my finger on it at the moment...
