Summary/Abstract: Fantastic Realism, rising from the surrealism movement, started with the Vienna Fantastic Realism school, which was founded in 1945 by Rudolf Hausner, Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Hutter, Anton Lehmden and Arik Brauer after World War II. Famous critic Prof. Johann Muschik named this core group "Fantastic Realists" due to the religious, mysterious subjects and symbolist approaches, that they dealt with in his works. In this research, the works of Ernst Fuchs (1930- 2015), one of the world's leading representatives of the fantastic realist art movement, "The Cross (1950)" and the "Human, Horse, Eagle Trio (1991)" by Erol Deneç (1941-…) are analyzed by using E. B. Feldmann’s "investigative art criticism" method, which is included in the discipline-based art education. E. B. Feldmann's method of "investigative art criticism"; consists of description, analysis, interpretation and judgment sub-titles. After examining the works individually, they were compared in terms of their similarities and differences. Despite the subject and technical richness of fantastic realism, the comparative analysis of the works of two artists who come from different lives and cultures, produced with similar characteristics, emphasizes the importance of the study, and it is thought that it will contribute to art education and shed light on the researchers who are interested in the field.
