Roh discusses the different forms of art and how they have progressed over time. He says that you can tell the different phases of art apart by "means of the particular objects that artists perceive, among all other objects in the world." When talking about objectivity, he says how paintings should overcome who is looking at it and create a feeling, bring up memories. Paintings give a feeling of reality and that they are not a copy of what is, but in a sense “another creation.” To show something realistically is it not to copy but to “build rigorously” and make objects that exist in the world . I think this is important because the concept of not copying or portraying is mentioned by Flores as well. The “mysteries” are not created by the painters, they are not here in the world in painting but they are hiding behind it.
Flores says that “time exists in a kind of timeless fluidity and the unreal happens as part of reality.” Magical realists are not creating new worlds but they cause people to find complexities and questions in the world we live in. Those of magical realism stick to reality, “to confuse with clarity.”
Leal says that magical realism began in 1935. What he says is similar to Flores in that magical realist writers have certain things in common one of which is they change the “common and the everyday into the awesome and the unreal.” Again, they are not creating a new world but showing the world in different ways. He compares supperrealism and magical realism in that magical realism doesn’t use dramatic motifs or alter reality or create fake and interesting worlds, or try to reason. He also notes that magical realism is not magical literature its goal is to “express emotions not evoke them”. The write faces reality and untangles it interprets it to find the mysterious things that are already here.
Roh discusses the different forms of art and how they have progressed over time. He includes impressionism, expressionism, futurism as well as Post-expressionism, also known as magical realism. He says that you can tell the different phases of art apart by "means of the particular objects that artists perceive, among all other objects in the world." When talking about objectivity, he says how paintings should overcome who is looking at it and create a feeling, a feeling that should connect to other things and conger memories. Impressionism and expressionism do not accurately portray the feeling of emotion, but instead more accurately portray what is reality. Whereas Post-Expressionism is not copy of something that already exists, but in a sense is “another creation.” To show something realistically is it not to copy but to “build rigorously” and create out of objects that already exist in the world. This concept of creation rather than copying is significant because it is also mentioned by Flores. The “mysteries” are not created by the painters, they are found in this world but hidden in the world that has been painted.

They cause the need to question reality, “to confuse with clarity.” In magical realism what may seem real and clear is questioned and confused.
