Long overshadowed by the rise of abstract expressionism in the 1950s, magic realismâs reputation is on the way up again. The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia will present the exhibition âExtra Ordinary: Magic, Mystery and Imagination in American Realismâ from February 27 to June 13, 2021, seeking to reexamine how we define magic realism and expand the canon of artists who worked within this category.Â
