Magic Realism
マジック・リアリズム / 1925–1970s / Style / Figurative Painting
Pintura de factura rigurosamente realista en la que la luz, la disposición y el silencio desplazan la realidad un grado. Sin recurrir a las deformaciones del surrealismo, sitúa objetos corrientes con una nitidez insólita y suscita a la vez inquietud y sosiego. El término procede de la crítica de arte alemana de 1925.
Luz dura y uniforme / Descripción de una claridad extraña / Figuras y objetos inmóviles / Disposiciones sin explicación
Entrada del diccionario
- Usos idóneos
- Brand photography and film stills that must feel calm and slightly wrong: fragrance, luxury goods, speculative fiction · Editorial illustration for essays whose subject is ordinary life seen from an angle that will not resolve
- Tipografía
- A quiet transitional serif, generously letterspaced, kept well clear of the image so it never explains it.
- Composición
- A single frontal scene with one object placed where the eye does not expect it, surrounded by a wide and undisturbed margin.
- Material
- Matte, non-reflective stock and an even shadowless colour field: no grain, no gloss, nothing that suggests the picture was handled.
- Precaución
- Reaching for melting clocks and impossible bodies: the moment the description breaks, the work is Surrealist, and the particular chill of the ordinary held too clearly is gone.
