The first major survey exhibition of works by Konrad M\u00e4gi was held in 1968\u20131969 at the Tartu State Art Museum 90 years after the artist\u2019s birth. M\u00e4gi had been on the list of banned authors for some time after the Second World War but his works could already be exhibited starting from the 1950s.

Konrad M\u00e4gi. 2022<\/strong>
Compiler Eero Epner. Tallinn: Sperare<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An album devoted to Estonia\u2019s premier painter Konrad M\u00e4gi (1878\u20131925) gives English-language readers an overview of the artist\u2019s works and world.
At the heart of the nearly 500-page work are about 100 of the artist\u2019s most important works accompanied by mini-essays, compiled with input from not only art history but meteorological data and botanical analysis for pinpointing some details characteristic of M\u00e4gi. It also explores the historical, social, political, aesthetic and other contexts. A number of the locations where M\u00e4gi painted have been identified more precisely.
The album includes a full index of M\u00e4gi works, with thumbnail reproductions of all 283 of M\u00e4gi\u2019s known works, including the ones that survive only as a black-and-white reproduction.
The album was compiled by Eero Epner, with design and layout by Angelika Schneider. The translation into English is by Kristopher Rikken and copy editing of the translation is by Martin R\u00fcnk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Konrad M\u00e4gi. Senin\u00e4gemata maalid [Konrad M\u00e4gi. Unseen Paintings]. 2023<\/strong>
Author Eero Epner. Tallinn: Konrad M\u00e4gi Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From its very beginning, one of the aims of the Konrad M\u00e4gi Foundation has been to seek lost works by Konrad M\u00e4gi (1878\u20131925). This is not a particularly easy task. It is not only akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, often it is not even known exactly where that haystack is located. Estonia? Russia? Sweden? Australia? There is a great deal of confusion, false leads, unexpected detours, but mostly lack of knowledge \u2013 the paintings have unfortunately left very few documented traces of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, the Foundation has succeeded in finding dozens of works by M\u00e4gi that had hitherto been thought to have been lost or were not known to have existed, for which reason they could not have been thought to be lost. The book tells the stories of the disappearance and finding of those paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book accompanies the exhibition Konrad M\u00e4gi. Unseen Paintings, which will be held at the Estonian National Museum from 13 October 2023 to 7 January 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Joonas Sildre considers Konrad M\u00e4gi in the network of his own internal tensions and quests, the international context, and the circumstances in Estonia in the first half of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
