German term or phrase: elegantes Understatement

Bis 28. Oktober kann man in der Fundación Federico Jorge Klemm noch zwei besonders schöne Ausstellungen bewundern: Einmal im Hauptsaal riesige, wilde Gemälde des Altmeisters Rómulo Macció aus dem Jahr 2005; und im früher “Espacio Cinco” genannten Vorraum eine Fotografieausstellung des renommierten Künstlers und Kurators Juan Travnik.

Während Macció wie immer direkt die Emotionen anspricht und den Besucher im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes “überwältigt” - und das, obwohl er für seine Begriffe Farben und Flächen hier sparsam einsetzt -, sind die Fotos Travniks ruhige und entspannende Landschaften, die neben dem offensichtlichen Abbild auch ein inneres Panorama darzustellen scheinen. Selbst die durchlöcherte Front der HSBC-Bank, an der enttäuschte Sparer nach der Wirtschaftskrise ihre Wut ausließen, bleibt bei Travnik elegantes Understatement.

Understatement elegante

Explanation:
lo dejaría en inglés porque no tiene traducción exacta:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understatement

Aquí ves lo que es y verrás que en italiano tampoco se traduce.

Me parece que el texto va dirigido a un público que sabrá qué es "understatement"

Un saludo!
