Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Art
Italian term or phrase: cimentati
Arte di denuncia e arte di ostentazione. Lo si poteva fare nel Seicento come negli anni ’60, come oggi ancora qualcuno fa. Grandi artisti che si sono cimentati con il mondo guardando all’uomo che lo abita e al modo in cui lo vive. A volte denunciandone gli sprechi, il degrado, la pazzia che sottende alcune scelte, altre esaltandone i valori: dall’amore alla bellezza, dalle potenzialità creative alla poesia, dal ragionamento alla genialità.

Comment traduiriez-vous ce verbe dans ce contexte?
De grands artistes ont osés /se sont hasardés/ ont risqués / ont défiés/ se confronter au monde...
Merci pour votre aide.

penchés


Explanation:
Je crois qu'ici le sens est "étudier", "examiner" :
De grands artistes qui se sont penchés sur le monde...

Eventuellement, je ne mettrais pas "ont osé/se sont hasardés, etc." mais tout simplement : de grands artistes qui se sont confrontés/mesurés au monde...
mais ce n'est que mon idée...

Bon boulot !

se sont frottés au monde


Explanation:
cimentarsi:se mettre à l' épreuve, se risquer.Il y a donc une connotation d' adversité assez forte
