HI
Magical realism is a genre of art, literature, and performance in which elements of the fantastic are presented within the context of very real scenes and events, typically without comment. This artistic genre emerged in Latin America, although examples of magical realism can be drawn from other regions of the world as well. Some notable figures in this field include: Salvador Dali, Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Rene Magritte, Jose Saramago, and M.C. Escher, among many others.
Thanks
