The exhibition In the Footsteps of Neo-Impressionism. M\u00e4gi and Finch was held at the Art Museum of Estonia in 2010. In addition to Konrad M\u00e4gi\u2019s works, the exhibition curator Tiina Abel had selected works by Paul Signac, Alfred William Finch, Henri-Edmond Cross, Maurice Denis, and others. \u2018All of these artists share a fondness for the dot of colour, a yearning for harmony in colours and a balanced picture surface. The Impressionists of the 19 th century had liberated colour and found the opportunity to record the fleeting and the transient with the help of a spontaneous way of painting,\u2019 is what was written in the introduction to the exhibition. One of the focal points of the exhibition was the creative encounter between Konrad M\u00e4gi and the Belgian-Finnish artist of English origin Alfred William Finch (1854\u20131930). The following is written in the introduction to the exhibition: \u2018After the spirited summer of 1906 in \u00c5land, M\u00e4gi went to Helsinki in the autumn for a year, hoping to improve his artistic technique at the Ateneum Art School and to earn money for travelling to Paris. The Ateneum Art School teacher Willy Finch, who had arrived in Finland in 1897, had been one of the most principled followers of Georges Seurat\u2019s art system in the 1890s. Thus Finch was the first artist whose oeuvre provided M\u00e4gi with the chance to familiarise himself with the new art trend. The comparison of his works completed in 1908\u20131915 to Finch\u2019s works and also works by French artists provides the opportunity to be enchanted by the strength of purpose, originality and extraordinary perception of colour of M\u00e4gi\u2019s creative quests.\u2019
