Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Carl Andre
Italian term or phrase: ricerca poetica/scultorea
Una possibile via per rispondere a questa domanda – che è quella qui seguita e che certo è tra le più praticate dalla critica attuale su Carl Andre – consiste nell’interrogare la profonda continuità tra ricerca poetica e ricerca scultorea dell’artista, continuità che fa di Andre pressoché un unicum nella scultura del secondo Novecento. Per mostrare questa continuità, ho scelto anzitutto di indicare brevemente alcuni passaggi cruciali nella primissima produzione di Andre per poi derivarne in conclusione cinque coppie concettuali utili ad analizzare la produzione di Andre nel suo complesso.

'pursuits' or 'endeavors'


Explanation:
You could try pursuits/endeavors as well - in the sense of artistic activities directed by the artist's vision, etc: "....continuity between the poetic pursuits as well as the sculptural pursuits of the artist..."

Example sentence(s):
  • His literary pursuits extended into other fields as well; in his mind, literary inspiration could be found anywhere.
