Spanish term or phrase:cambio de tercio
This phrase, which I discovered has to do with bullfighting, is used metaphorically in this sentence, but I cannot figure out what it is trying to say:
Su cambio de tercio respecto al objeto y al concepto de exhibición se produce en 1967.
I was referring to your words emphatic, dramatic, shift. I meant to say that those words can be used for a bullfight change of act as they are used in operas, plays, concerts. But that's their only similarity. I hope I explained myself better this time.
As explained in this link, it is simply a shift...as when you move from one topic to another
"En el lenguaje coloquial usamos la expresión cambio de tercio cuando dejamos de ocuparnos de un asunto para pasar a otro".

Could we have some more context please? What comes before and after this?

different perspective
Explanation: As you state, term is related to a bullfigth. There is three steps (momentos) during bullfigth.
a) Primer tercio where a Capote confronts the bull.
b) Segundo tercio where horses and banderillas: se pica el toro. (in order to stimulate his bravura).
c) Faena and if applicable killing. (faena y matar)
There is three circles on the plaza, the closes you go to the center danger rices.
Regarding art it might be talking about to change of position regarding a point, the way you will have a different perspective.
