tema de encuadre

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
A text by a contemporary Argentine critic on Antonio Berni's Ramona

Mientras que la elección berniana para la serie de Ramona se basaba en su uso de materiales masivos y contemporáneos, su imagen, nuevamente, miraba a la tradición desde el anclaje iconográfico: Berni reactualizaba un polo de “fuerza de gravedad iconográfica” para la gráfica argentina, la imagen de la prostituta. Distintos grabadores ya habían recurrido a este tema de encuadre para dar cuenta de sus lecturas de crítica social:

Maybe just "central theme". What it means is that many Argentine printmakers had used the prostitute theme, but the term seems more specific than that...

Thanks

@Philgoddard Sorry about the typo, I meant to write "theme frame"

I think your interpretation is correct. "De encuadre" doesn't add a whole lot to the sentence. You could say "overarching".

stereotype

Although it may be perceived as something negative, the definition as "widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing seems to fit in the context (utilizado para "encuadrar" las personas...).

Tick-tock… You could probably also use archetype/iconic figure, as that's what I think it means.
"Different engravers had already resorted to this archetype/iconic figure to account for their readings of social criticism..."
Example sentence:

Thai prostitutes are very far from the opposing stereotypes of victim and independent woman,,,

the stereotype of the alcoholic as a down-and-out vagrant
