James H. Cromartie James H. Cromartie is an internationally renowned American artist credited with the birth of Hard-Edge Realism, a style by turns both redolent of and a departure from the Magic Realism pioneered by Andrew Wyeth. The list of celebrities and wealthy patrons reported to be among his collectors is extensive and examples of Cromartie’s work may be found in 125 countries across the globe. Domestically, Cromartie has been called, “one of America’s leading historical artists,” for his commissioned portraits of the White House, Smithsonian Institution, U.S Capitol and Supreme Court, among others. In 2005, James H. Cromartie’s historical portrait of the White House was featured in the widely distributed art history textbook, ArtTalk, a distinction granted to a mere 25 living artists globally. Cromartie has resided year-round on Nantucket, Massachusetts for over 35 years, proudly quipping, “there are Nantucket artists, but then again there are…artists who have chosen to live on Nantucket. There’s a b-i-g difference.”

Magic realism Magical realism, magic realism, or marvelous realism is a genre of narrative fiction and, more broadly, art (literature, painting, film, theatre, etc.) that, while encompassing a range of subtly different concepts, expresses a primarily realistic view of the real world while also adding or revealing magical elements. It is sometimes called fabulism, in reference to the conventions of fables, myths, and allegory. "Magical realism", perhaps the most common term, often refers to fiction and literature in particular, with magic or the supernatural presented in an otherwise real-world or mundane setting.

Maruja Mallo Maruja Mallo (5 January 1902 – 6 February 1995) was a Spanish painter. Mallo was born Ana María Gómez González in Viveiro, Galicia, on 5 January 1902. She studied arts in Madrid between 1922 and 1926. In 1928 Mallo's first exhibition was held at the Madrid offices of the journal "Revista de Ocidente" and the exhibition was praised for its originality and freshness. According to Shirley Mangini '[a]lthough historians of Spanish avant-garde art locate the origins of the movement in the activities of Dalí, Buñuel, García Lorca, and another student at the Residencia, José Bello, Mallo's artistic vision was an important catalyst in the Spanish avant-garde movement." Her paintings of the 1920s represent urban entertainments and sports, composed in complex overlapping arrangements that express the dynamism of modern life. These works, such as "La Verbena" of 1927, combine sharply defined, smoothly modeled forms with bright colors. Her work became more surrealistic in the early 1930s, and she worked in ceramics during this time as well. Her later works show some influence of magical realism and look ahead to pop art. In 1928 Ortega y Gasset organized her first exhibit, which was a success.

Frequent stars of these films were Jean Gabin, Michel Simon, Simone Signoret, and Michèle Morgan.
