Art/Literary - History | | French term or phrase: ancrage local | From the description of an art exhibit. All that comes to mind for ancrage is "local roots", put it doesn't seem quite right.
En 2006, l’Italie du Nord a fêté le cinquième centenaire de la mort de l’artiste à travers l’organisation de 14 expositions retraçant l’ancrage local du peintre dans ses différents foyers de création, notamment à Padoue, Mantoue et Vérone. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseEmma Paulay: 6:00pm Nov 27, 2007: What have you got for "foyers de création"?
French Foodie: 6:38pm Nov 27, 2007: Yes, Bourth's point is what's bugging me about roots, since there are 3 places. That said, we do talk about "putting down roots" somewhere... But basically, the artist had 3 creative periods in his life in these different locations.
Emma, for now I have centers of creation for foyers, but I'm not happy with that either.

Explanation:
very prosaic I know, but I get the impression that all this means is that he actually lived for a while in each of the places mentioned

| commitment to the area
Explanation:
also like "involvement"
I avoided (by the skin of my teeth!) "local commitment", as this usually implies the commitment of the locals (to something)
