English term or phrase: free sweeping gestures
Buonasera a tutti
durante una descrizione riguardante Pollock e la sua arte, sono capitata nella seguente frase:

What they had in common was the application of paint in free sweeping gestures with the brush.

Il significato di free sweeping non mi è chiaro.

Ringrazio tutti quanti in anticipo

con gesti liberi e generosi
