As she opened the exhibition, Sirje Karis, the First Lady of Estonia, observed that the exposition is a good example of interaction and cooperation between different cultures. \u2018It is difficult to measure its effect, yet it nevertheless broadens our outlook and enriches life. I too looked at Konrad M\u00e4gi\u2019s Norwegian landscapes in a different way here in Norway,\u2019 remarked Sirje Karis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Culture and art develop in penetrating introspection as well as in contact with other cultures. Konrad M\u00e4gi is an excellent example of how contact with varied cultures affects art,\u2019 said Sirje Karis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I have been asked what makes Konrad M\u00e4gi special. That can be clearly perceived. He captures something essential regarding life, something universal that transcends time. He is always fresh and does not fade. He has an effect on people. That is miraculous.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the third and last chapter of the exhibition of works by Konrad M\u00e4gi curated by Pilvi Kalhama, which has previously been exhibited at the Espoo Museum of Modern Art EMMA in 2021, and at the Copenhagen Art Center GL Strand in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konrad M\u00e4gi\u2019s paintings are surprisingly independent, while at the same time showing connections to leading international developments around 1910\u20131920, for instance neoimpressionism and its characteristic pointillist painting technique, as well as expressionism and cubism. Due to this richness, his art is still very fresh and thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition contains around 120 paintings from various periods, among them many of his main works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is co-produced by the Art Museum of Estonia, the Lillehammer Kunstmuseum and the Espoo Museum of Modern Art EMMA. It is curated by the director of the Lillehammer Kunstmuseum, Nils Ohlsen, and Pilvi Kalhama from EMMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition Konrad M\u00e4gi \u2013 Estonia\u2019s Great Painter<\/em> will be open until 2 April 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
