Arabic term or phrase: أخذت زخماً
يختلف حال أقطار الخليج والجزيرة العربية عنها في البلدان العربية الأخرى، فقد بدأت الحركة التشكيلية فيها متأخرة، إلا أ،ها مع بداية السبعينات أخذت زخما واسعاً استمر حتى الآن.

gained a momentum / took off
Explanation:
Perhaps you'd like to consider something like "took off widely", as I think there are better words to describe

than
واسع
although it -itself- is not wrong.
