Literary notes about nuanced (AI summary)

In literature, "nuanced" is employed to convey subtle distinctions and refined layers of meaning.

In another, the term underscores technical mastery in artistic execution, highlighting the precise and natural flow of a brushstroke that mimics the effortless force of a waterfall [2].
