	Magic realism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term magic realism was first used by the German art critic Franz Roh to refer to a painterly style also known as Neue Sachlichkeit.
		It was later used to describe the unusual realism of primarily American painters such as Ivan Albright, Paul Cadmus, George Tooker and other artists during the 1920s, under whom traditional realism became subtly infused with overtones of the surreal and fantastical.
		In 1925, art critic Franz Roh used this term to describe painting which signalled a return to realism after expressionism's extravagances which sought to redesign objects to reveal the spirits of those objects.

		The renewed apprehension of the familiar world was, for Shklovsky, as it was for Franz Roh in 1925, not only the function of art but its very definition.
		Franz Roh was obviously responding to (and at the same time defining) European avant garde aesthetics.
		The image was to be crystalline in structure, a dynamic pattern of intellectual and emotional energies, a sharply focused object whose referent is both in the world and beyond it.

	Margin: Exploring Modern Magical Realism/MAGICAL REALISM AND ITS MEANINGS: A NOT SO NECESSARY CONFUSION by G. S. ...
		This is especially evident in her discussion of "literalization," where "magic realism further emphasizes the 'reality' of fictions through a set of techniques which are based on linguistic and conceptual violations, rather than transgressions of genre." "Literalization of metaphor" is the first of these, in which a metaphor's meaning is transformed into its literal equivalent.
		And where Roh might have argued that turning to any causal explanation of the object eliminates its inherent mystery, Faris is largely concerned with how "magical realism often gives voice in the thematic domain to indigenous or ancient myths, legends, and cultural practices,” the first two of which generally have a clear metaphysical causality.
		Roh's magic realism, however, emphasized the object, and he was critical of any style that deflected attention away from it.

	Paulo Lemos Horta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Coined by Munich photographer and art critic Franz Roh in Weimar Germany and given currency by postwar Latin-American fiction, magic realism has enjoyed a critical renaissance with the ascendency of postmodern and in particular postcolonial schools of theory in the humanities.
		Second, Franz Roh refused to chart the politics of magic realism in accordance with the ideologies of the Weimar Republic, choosing instead to champion Mahatma Gandhi as the example of the politics of passive contemplation that he espouses in coining the term.
		On the basis of these two claims made on behalf of magic realism it is not too fanciful to think of Franz Roh as one of the first proponents of what we would now recognize as a postcolonial school of criticism.

		This art style was also first used after World War I. Franz Roh at first called this new style of painting Post-Expressionism, but changed it later to Magical Realism because he knew that the work "had to have a name that meant something, and the word 'Post-Expressionism' only indicated ancestry and chronological relationship" (Roh).
		Roh says that he uses the word 'magic' instead of 'mystic' because "the mystery does not descend to the represented world, but rather hides and palpates behind it." At the same time that Roh came up with the term Magical Realism, a museum director named Gustav Hartlaub called this new art style New Objectivity.
		It all goes back to what Franz Roh said in his essay "Magical Realism: Post-Expressionism." "We recognize this world, although now- not only because we have emerged from a dream- we look on it with new eyes." That view is what Magical Realism does to us.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Magic Realism, Magical Realism
		In the 1920s, the term “magischer Realismus” (magical realism”;) was coined by the German art critic Franz Roh to describe a quality he discerned in some post-expressionist painting, namely the sense of unreality produced by extreme clarity and ultrasharp focus.
		One should therefore generally be cautious not automatically to assume apparent forerunners and translations of the term magical realism”; to have the same frame of reference as the term has today.
		Recalling Roh’s use of the term, the focus lay on the hypernatural clarity and precision of realistic description employed to create a vague feeling of supernatural doom, or, conversely, of divine awe.

		That is why not only Dohnány but also other photographers of this orientation often choose objects and matters with transparent or semi-transparent surfaces and netted, openwork patterns.
		These works seem to be perfect examples of Franz Roh´s observation about a “specific attractiveness” of some sorts of still lifes, resulting from “a tension between the geometric abstraction and the aftermath of objectivity”.
		The translation of Roh’s term “neue Sehen“ later probably led to the derived expression “new vision“, which caught on in the historiography of photography.

		Post-Expression moved to a renewed delight in real objects as it maintained and integrated the formal innovations and spiritual thrust of Expressionism, which had shown an exaggerated preference for fantastic, extraterrestrial, remote objects (Zamora 15).
		Though, his initial perception of magical realism is in contrast to contemporary use, which implies that a text departs from realism rather than reengage it.
		Still, through Roh's conception of the term magical realism, he wished to infer that there is not necessarily any ancestry or chronology that a name such as Post-Expression would imply; he wanted to break from designating it as an aspect of a movement (Zamora 5; 15-16).

		Juan Manuel Bonet, director of the RSNACM and curator of this exhibition, has collected 29 canvasses painted between 1932 and 1935 in which the painter, based on the principles defended by Franz Roh in his book Magic Realism and on a very personal perspective of island life, created an extremely coherent plastic universe.
		Having died prematurely after a long stay in a TB sanatorium, Oramas's talent is particularly brilliant in the paintings inspired by the view from his window, a landscape of the popular quarters which spread on the crags overlooking Las Palmas", explains Juan Manuel Bonet.
		In 1929, Oramas started studying in the Luján Pérez School in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where the aforementioned book by Franz Roh was used as a text book.
