1943 to 1950's Magic Realism is an American style of art with Surrealist overtones. The art is deeply rooted in everyday reality, but has overtones of fantasy or wonder. The term was later also applied to the literary works of authors such as Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel García Márquez. Artists most commonly associated with the style are Paul Cadmus, Philip Evergood, Ivan Albright, and George Tooker. Andrew Wyeth is sometimes associated with this group, due to the slightly mysterious nature of his work.
