Spanish term or phrase: preciso con la realidad
This question is for specialists in art history and museum texts, as it comes from a commentary on an artist to be used in an art exhibition. I would like to know whether this is a common trope in Spanish art history texts, and if so how it is usually translated. Thank you!
