= ordinary, realistic scenes are infused with subtle, dreamlike, or magical elements—but presented in a way that makes the extraordinary feel natural, almost believable; the term “magical realism” (Magischer Realismus) was first used in the 1920s by German art critic Franz Roh to describe paintings that mixed realistic technique with dreamlike or mysterious qualities
