Magic Realism Art Movement is Newly Relevant Again
Long overshadowed by the rise of abstract expressionism in the 1950s, magic realism’s reputation is on the way up again. The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia will present the exhibition “Extra Ordinary: Magic, Mystery and Imagination in American Realism” from Feb. 27 to June 13. The exhibition seeks to reexamine the definition of magic realism and expand the canon of artists who worked within this category.
