propiziatori

German translation: (herauf)beschwörend // zelebrierend // fürsprechend

Italian to German translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Italian term or phrase: propiziatori
Due poli che ritroviamo anche nell’opera della Vahtrapuu la quale si rifà spesso al mare, sia esso quello di Freemantle, quello di Norvegia o quello di Tallinn, tutte località costiere dove ha lavorato sull’elemento liquido, sull’architettura portuale o sulla musica della pioggia, attingendo all’hinterland estone, nel quadro del paesaggio pietroso o irto d’alberi *propiziatori* del Land Art.

Leider habe ich mich hier etwas zu sehr "festgebissen", sodass mir keine gelungene Übersetzung mehr einfallen will.

Für eure Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar!

heilige/magische (Bäume)


Explanation:
Ich glaube, propiziatorio bezeichnet in diesem Fall einfach nur einen Gegenstand, dem man besondere Kräfte zuschreibt.

Example sentence(s):
  • daß die Eibe ein immergrüner, "magischer" Baum sei, der auch von einer eigenen ...
  • Als besonders kraftvoller und magischer Baum, ein Sinnbild für Stärke

neutral  Zea_Mays: Mmmmh - alberi sacri o magici della land art in un dipinto? mmmhhhh .... Nella land art si creano allestimenti in e con la natura. Qui propiziatorio mi pare avere senso evocativo di una "installazione nella/con la natura". ;-)
