Magic realism is regarded as "literary genre popular in Latin America since the middle of the 20th century"。Actually,Magic realism is not only popular in Latin America,Its artistic territory is not limited to literature。and Baroque、Modernist and other worldwide literary trends like,Magic realism is an intricate concept。At the International Symposium on the Iberia Literature Research Seminar in 1973,Scholars participating scholars around the main topic of magic realism,Starting fierce and full discussion,But it is difficult to reach basic consensus。American scholar Rodrigue Monagal once called on the academic community to abandon this term,But the manifestation of magic realism in literature and art criticism is increasing.,Concepts and categories present a generalization trend。In order to further clarify the evolution and development history of magic realism,Urgently need to examine its early artistic initiative。
Magic realism originates from German painting
Magic Realism This term first appeared in the field of painting art in Germany。December 1925,German art critic Franz Luo published "Magic Realism and Post Expressive: Several Issues of Contemporary European Painting",Magic realism for the first time in the book,It is used to describe the new trend in European painting art works during this period。After the end of World War I,Germany's socio -economic development was severely damaged,Domestic inflation is serious。Artists bet365 Play online games reflect the impact of the economic crisis on daily life through brushes,The theme of painting gradually tends to show the social phenomenon and cruel real situation of post -war deformed social phenomena。So,Expressive painting has entered a brand new stage from the previous Bridge and Qing Knight Club。1923,Mannheim Art Museum Chief Hartlabs began to prepare for exhibitions for these paintings。June 1925,The theme of the exhibition is "new objective: German art since expressism".。After that,Also to Dresden、Kimnitz、Elford and other cities for tour exhibitions。Hartlab carefully uses new objectiveism (also translated as "new objectivity").,Lien new art with the social development of Germany。He does not think that this new art will replace expressionism,I don’t think it can include all the art trends at that time。Otto Dix、George Groz、Christian Shad, etc., is the main representative of the new objectiveist painter in this period。Ortyan Dix's three -united painting "Metropolitan Metropolis" in 1928 is one of the models of new objectiveism,It has become an important portrayal of the "Gold 20s"。
Franz Luo, who does not agree with Hartlab's new objectiveism of the new objectiveist,He believes that the new art has surpassed the category of expressionism,And the new art is not unique to Germany,Instead, it is regarded as an art phenomenon of the entire European。In his opinion,Only Magic Realism is a contradictory characteristic term,Only to accurately capture the soul of the new art works,That is, the artist presents the internal image of the external world in an intuitive bet365 live casino games way。It highlights the inner surreal and magic in the external objective world。Portrait created by Christian Shad "Agsta,Chicken breast man and Rasha,Black Pigeon Woman ",It is also a typical work of the art genre,Draw Agostea (malformed person) and Lasha (Black Pigeon Children)。This painting shows unconsciousness in the experience of the experience.、Very state and love habit。Introduction of surreal elements in painting creation,Expressing potential unconscious real life。
Overall,Franz Luo's magic realism and Hartlab's new objectiveism are not contrary to,Although it can refer to different,Can be roughly the same。Magic realist paintings are quite compatible,Can mix different elements,Have strong social criticalness and irony。1927,Franz Luo's article was translated into Spanish,Posted on the Spanish journal "Western Magazine" with international influence。Magic realism has since entered the Spanish world。1948,Venezuela writer Abutro Usral used this term for the first time in the field of literary criticism。Since then,Magic realism entered Latin American literary criticism from Germany's art criticism。
Enlightenment of surrealist literary thoughts
The early generation of magic realism literature is the manifestation of cultural interoperability in literature,It is mainly enlightened by surrealist literary thoughts。As domestic scholar Chen Zhong discussed in "Magic Realism Test",Franz Luo's magic realism and the magic realism of Latin American novels "are not substantial、Source flow melon "。Cultural interchange is a terminology Bet365 app download proposed by Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortis,Compared with the cultural assimilation of cultural assimilation in the European and American academic circles at that time。In the cultural interchange in Latin American literature,Latin American local literature encounters European surrealist thoughts,Dana Indian culture and black culture in Latin American are strong resistance,At the same time, there is a choice to absorb the essence of surrealism,After integrating each other, it produces Latin American new literature。
The 20th century,Regionalist literature and indigenous literature flourish in Latin America。Latin American writers have not yet entered the world literary space,It is very limited in international influence。This period,There are a group of young Latin American people studying and living in Paris,Their growing up in the future into a well -known writer,Demomalraman Mirgel Ansturias and Cuban Aleh Kandutan is an outstanding representative of these people。In the world of art,They are in contact with avant -garde art and the latest literary thoughts,I also met Dadaist Trelistan Chara,Surrealist Bulles Dong、Aragon,I also established a deep friendship with Robert Dezusus。Various doctrines that make Asturias and Capestraire are surging。The most yearning for them is the surreal of the sun and the sky。Bergson's intuitionalism and Freud's subconscious theory laid the philosophy and theoretical basis for this tide of art。1924,The main general of the surrealist movement Boltado published the "Surrealist Declaration",He defines bet365 Play online games surrealism as pure psychological spontaneous phenomenon,"Put the surreal、irrational dream、illusion、Imagination, etc. It is regarded as the source of artistic creation ",Think that only this "unconscious" world that transcends reality can get rid of all restraints,can the most authenticity of the facts of the facts。Asturias participated in Paris's surrealist society,Also hosted the surrealist magazine "Magnet" with Capengtel。
The influence of surrealism makes Asturia and Capestrael learn to observe the reality of Latin America with the eyes of Europeans。They re -examine the Latin American local culture,Deeply realized that Latin America is their root。They dislike the tendency of European surrealists to evade reality and separate from reality,There is a strong desire to write in the heart,So they parted ways with surrealism。It is worth mentioning is,Asturias studied Indian myths and legends in the Americas at the United States at the University of Sorbon, Paris。He translated Indian ancient literature "Popol Uh" and "Chronicles of Cagel" from French to Spanish。Through translation practice,He has a deep understanding of the American Indian culture,I am proud of the old culture that once had such a gorgeous culture,Overcoming the inner cultural inferiority。Asturias think,Writing the Americas is his specialty and obligation,The story of the Americas will always attract the attention of the world。He reproduces the past of Indian America in his unique narrative method,At the same time, it also deeply branded the mark of surrealistism。Visible,Asturias is not bet365 live casino games fully accepted by surrealism,But there are some choices,You Yang You abandon。Asturias's "Guatemala Legends" and Kayttel's "Elugan Baba Ao", two early magic realism, came into being in the 1930s。
Performance between art
Although parallel research between different art categories must take a certain risk and quite complicated,But we can't deny "there are always basic communication between multiple art forms in a certain period" (Mario Praz)。Review the early magic realism again,You can clearly understand its multi -source occurrence in the fields of literature and art。
Frequent communication based on art,The German painter and Latin American writers in the 1920s and the 1930s all expressed their reality in their eyes in their own unique and hearty ways。Literature and painting were not split,After they share the magic realism, after the ability to finger,Its refers to richer and more complicated。Magic realism is like an organic body,Its life starts after art and literature,Constantly changing、Development and innovation。It is not only a literary genre of an era,and is a tide of literary thoughts in the world。
Magic realism has a vast artistic territory,Originally painted in Germany,Main achievements in Latin American literature,At the same time, it also expands to other art forms such as movies。As for how it develops、How to evolve、How to move from Latin America to the world,That is another topic that needs to be discussed in depth。
