  1. Magical Realism and Paintings Comparison between definitions

  2. Origins of Magical Realism • M.R. began as a movement of art in Germany, as early as the 1910s. A clear definition of M.R. was first established by a critic named Franz Roh in 1925. • Definition: The term magical realism first meant art that attempted to produce a clear depiction of reality that included a presentation of the mysterious elements of everyday life.

  3. Elements of M.R. in Paintings • 1. Sobriety and sharp focus; an unsentimental and unemotional vision • 2. The artist’s vision is directed towards the everyday, banal, insignificant subjects; the absence of timidity with regard to painting the unpleasant; • 3. A static, tightly unified structure, which often suggests a completely airless, glass-like space, which, in general, gives preference to the static rather than to the dynamic;

  4. 4. The eradication of traces of the painting process, the liberation of the painting from all signs of the handicraft; • 5. And finally a new spiritual relationship with the world of things
