Magical Realism
Magic realism introduces elements of fantasy to reality, or captures reality in a fantastical style.
In central Europe, magical realism emerged as a response to modern and avant-garde art, marking a return to more traditional forms of expression following World War I. Prominent magic realist artists included Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, Alexander Kanoldt, and Adolf Ziegler, among others.
In literature, the critic Angel Flores used the term in 1955 to describe the works of writers like Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel García Márquez, and it has since become a significant but occasionally debated literary classification.
