The initiative for the exhibition apparently derived from Christian Krohg, a recognised Norwegian painter and the first professor of the Norwegian Academy of Art, who had cursorily come into contact with M\u00e4gi in Paris in 1907 or 1908 when he briefly taught M\u00e4gi at the Colarossi Academy. M\u00e4gi participated in the exhibition with 22 works. The Blomqvist Gallery was a striking exhibition space. A large exhibition of European avant garde works had been held there in 1908 (among others, works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein and others were on display there). A brief review appeared in Aftenposten , Norway\u2019s largest daily newspaper, where the richness of colour in M\u00e4gi\u2019s works was highlighted.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Konrad M\u00e4gi arrived in Norway in the summer of 1908 and stayed there until the autumn of 1910.
