New Objectivism, Or Magical Realism: My Favorite Artform

[starling]

I thought I'd share some of my favorite Magical Realist paintings. For those unfamiliar with Magical Realism, it's essentially a delicately walked line between Realism and Surrealism. Typically, Magically Real scenes are at once both mundane, but strange--but you can't really say why, exactly. You've probably felt this effect before--maybe something about the light, and the perspective of what you're looking has given you a sense of subtle surreality, but there's no particular event, phenomena or action you can point to in particular to qualify the experience. Featured Artists are Wyeth, Rob Evans and Otto Dix.
