Italian to English translations [Non-PRO] Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / glossary/definitions | | Italian term or phrase: camaleontismo | "Fondamentale anche l’incontro con l' opera di XXXX di cui condivide il fascino visionario, il camaleontismo artistico e mutua una rielaborazione di un codice visivo e linguistico, più adeguato ad esprimere l’anima della modernità, al fine di veicolare messaggi in modo immediato e diretto al di là di ogni confine geografico e culturale."
According to wikipedia this term describes how one is able to change his or her opinion as others wish (being chameleon-like), although here in the text seems more like the author is suggesting that the artistic is eclectic, versatile.
I already checked another kudoz entry, it didn't seem to be helpful in that the context was different.
Thanks for your suggestions |

| | many-sidedness; many-sided personality | Explanation: Capisco la tua perplessità sul termine camaleontismo. Ti ricordi il personaggio di Leonard Zelig nel film di Woody Allen? Si comportava da camaleonte umano per un disperato bisogno di accettazione e amore. Il tuo testo invece sembra proprio sottolineare l'eclettismo, la versatilità, la poliedricità dell'artista in questione, perciò ti suggerisco many-sidedness.
Buon lavoro! |
