 Socialist Realism
Socialist realism as articulated in the context of 1934 concerned not only the subject, author and public for all the arts, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the representation of the whole Soviet project in an age of calamities.
Socialist realism, the basic method of Soviet artistic literature and literary criticism, demands truthfulness (pravdivost') from the artist and an historically concrete portrayal of reality in its revolutionary development.
Yet equivalence between words in the press and their realization by writers and artists was never exact.[10] The phrase had one set of meanings as it was articulated in the newspapers, another at the congress, and a third in the world of the arts, where it was gradually enriched with various practices and experiences.

 Chapter 4. Typology in the Visual Arts
Probably the single most interesting influence of typology upon the art of the period appears in the way it provided the basis for theories of symbolic realism.

 Mark Harden's Artchive: "Symbolism"
Symbolism had far reaching influences as a movement in reaction to Realism and Impressionism, and the Nabis and Gauguin were closely related to the Symbolists, as well as the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler and the Norwegian Edvard Munch.
Huysmans in his novels A Rebours and La bas was significant in promoting the painters Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon and drawing the visual arts into the movement.
Symbolism began as a literary movement that developed from Romanticism in France in the second half of the 19th century, taking its themes of decadence, dandyism and mysticism from the novels of J.K. Huysmans.

 Margin: Exploring Modern Magical Realism/A BRIEF HISTORY OF MAGIC REALISM by Bruce Taylor
"Magic Realism first appeared as a term for the visual arts, introduced in the 1920's by Frans Roh, a German art critic.
Anyway, over the next few years, I assumed that it was a style of writing that was evolving, having yet to reach its zenith, and that Magic Realism was simply too new for there to be much of any critical analysis of the form.
The term "Magic Realism" is a derivation of the term lo real maravilloso (or Latin America's "Marvelous Reality"), a term coined in 1949 by Alejo Capentier (1904-1980), an outstanding Cuban cultural historian of Latin America, particularly of the Spanish-speaking and French Carribbean populations.
