trying to imagine what artistic/expressive direction...see below Explanation: This is not a word for word translation but the author is saying something like: I've always asked myself what artistic direction she would have taken after having imposed herself with such authority right from the start. You can work around it maybe shortening the main statement. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2019-11-25 10:40:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The speaker is looking back to when he first saw the artist's work and recalling how he didn't know at that time how the artist's work would have evolved, he didn't know what to expect from her later on in her career. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2019-11-25 10:42:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and he still doesn't know how her work will evolve in the future -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2019-11-25 11:57:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes she went down an artistic route but the speaker was speculating as to WHICH kind of artist route...abstract painting, expressionism etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2019-11-25 11:58:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I guess it's Would have + past participle for expressing speculation in the past |
