Italian term
dare corpo di fiato
Italian to English
Other
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
"Proprio là, in quel luogo successivamente del mondo dell’arte, Artaud le Mômo aveva dato corpo di fiato ai propri fantasmi e a simboli archetipici, alle ossessioni personali della propria storia singolare e a miti universali di culture lontane; ora, in questa stanza vuota ma zeppa di spettri, è Yves le Monochrome che deve levare le opere d’arte materiali e individuali, eliminare le relazioni percettive, psicologiche e intellettuali personali che esse permettono, e lasciar manifestare di nuovo la Vita o la Grande Arte, lasciar incarnare plasticamente nello spazio il soffio del sopra-sensibile, lo pneuma dell’essere."

had breathed life into...
This is the equivalent English expression I have known all my life...
"Also, breathe new life into . Revive someone or something. ..... This term is used both literally, for reviving a person who has stopped breathing temporarily, and FIGURATIVELY, for giving new impetus to or renewing some project. Also see breath of fresh air"
