Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / texte sur l'artiste Robert Combas
English term or phrase: Art as punk
This is the title of the text itself, in which Robert Combas' work is extensively compared to rock music.

The meaning is quite clear but the translation would have to be somewhat "catchy".

Merci à tous pour votre contribution. J'ai finalement choisi "De l'art punk", car cela fait écho à une phrase du texte lui-même.

j'ai oublié de préciser: il s'agit bien entendu de faire un jeu de sonorité avec l'idiomatisme de "peinture sur toile".

"Du punk dans l'art" (ou: "Du punk et de l'art")


Explanation:
... parce que j'aime les traductions proposées qui jouent avec l'expression "art punk", mais que je ne pense pas qu'on puisse l'utiliser ici, celle-ci évoquant différentes musiques punk (plutôt que les arts visuels: voir le lien ci-dessous)

Am I the only one to see the wordplay on "Art as Bunk"?
Even more of a challenge in French.
