English-Danish translations for canvas

lærredDog skal det lærred, der endnu ikke er afsløret, stadig for størstedelens vedkommende males. However, most of the canvas which is currently covered by that veil has still to be painted. Kunst er ikke, når en eller anden sætter sig hen og overmaler et lærred - det gør jeg i øvrigt også i min fritid - derfor tør jeg også komme med en vis dom. Not everything which someone sits down and daubs on a canvas is art - I paint in my spare time, incidentally, and that is why I venture my opinion. Den viser også, hvor bredt dette lærred er, og hvor forskelligartede fokuspunkterne skal være, når det drejer sig om menneskerettigheder og dem, der forsvarer menneskerettighederne. It also illustrates once again just how broad this canvas is, and just how extraordinarily diverse the focal points have to be in terms of human rights and human rights defenders.
