While Ingle represents a "magic realism" that harks back to Roh's ideas, the term "magic realism" in mid-20th century visual art tends to refer to work that incorporates overtly fantastic elements, somewhat in the manner of its literary counterpart.

Occupying an intermediate place in this line of development, the work of several European and American painters whose most important work dates from the 1930s through to the 1950s, including [[Bettina Shaw-Lawrence]], [[Paul Cadmus]], [[Ivan Albright]], [[Philip Evergood]], [[George Tooker]], [[Ricco (painter)|Ricco]], even [[Andrew Wyeth]], such as in his well-known work [[Christina's World]],<ref name="moma">[http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=78455 ''Christina's World''] in the [[Museum of Modern Art|MoMA]] Online Collection</ref> is designated as "magic realist". This work departs sharply from Roh's definition, in that it (according to ''Artcyclopedia'') "is anchored in everyday reality, but has overtones of fantasy or wonder".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/magic-realism.html|title=Magic Realism|website=Artcyclopedia|access-date=25 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20091001010202/http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/magic%2Drealism.html|archive-date=1 October 2009}}</ref> In the work of Cadmus, for example, the surreal atmosphere is sometimes achieved via stylized distortions or exaggerations that are not realistic.

Recent "magic realism" has gone beyond mere "overtones" of the fantastic or surreal to depict a frankly magical reality, with an increasingly tenuous anchoring in "everyday reality". Artists associated with this kind of magic realism include [[Marcela Donoso]]<ref>Elga Perez-Laborde (10 October 1999).

Artists such as [[Peter Doig]], [[Richard T. Scott]] and Will Teather have become associated with the term in the early 21st century.
