Abstract
Present-day, the meaning of the term magic realism varies depending on the art form being described. Its meaning has altered over the past century and yet maintains aspects of its original use. The term was first in a title role with visual arts critic Franz Roh's book published 1925 Nach Expressismus: Magicher Realismus: Probleme der neusten europaischen Malerei ("After Expressionism: Magical realism: Problems of the newest European painting"). Roh's magic realism was meant to emphasize that "the autonomy of the objective world around us was once more to be enjoyed; the wonder of matter that could crystallize into objects was to be seen anew" (Roh).
